2. Supposedly he went freely.
But only because he wasn't aggressive enough to stand up for himself. So basically, it amounts to kidnapping.

The tactics used were more like those used on the enemy, not on a prospective soldier, IMO.

4. and the recruiters lied
they used all kinds of coercive tactics. They took his cell phone...and they may have given him something. This is really terrible.
