Faustner, Jessica PDF Print E-mail

ImageThe National Guard recruited Jessica Faustner of Pennsylvania in 2004, at age 17. In 2005, she quit the Guard, saying in May that she was recruited under false pretenses, including being told she would be sent to nursing school. Instead, they were training her for active duty in Iraq. After threatening her with arrest, the Guard relented and released her from her contract in July, 2005.
