Enlistment papers are thick. Unless they were handing out packets it was probably just a permission slip. Also, while I could see one of them being shitty enough to try and trap kids into the military this way, there's no way the other 7 wouldn't protest and get in their way. And not even on moral grounds. They're all competing for recruits.

Wow, I didn't even consider that. It makes them seem so much less human to me, and so much more like a pack of hyenas.
