Pentagon compiling database of high school students

The Pentagon is creating a database of all 16-to-18-year-old high school students in the United States in an effort to improve dwindling recruitment efforts.

Update: The Associated Press has a story about parents who are resisting the Pentagon’s efforts, which also includes a quote from a military spokesperson saying that the new database is merely a consolidation of recruitment information-gathering that the different branches of the military used to do seperately.
