counter-recruiter
 n.— «When I read about “Counter recruiters” hovering outside their offices trying to talk kids out of it I get frustrated. These “Counter Recruiters” may think that they are doing the right thing by the young men and women that they are dissuading from service, but what they are really doing is hurting soldiers.» —“Memories” by David Shrauger Living Iraq Journal May 30, 2005.
