I find it impossible to believe that any recruiter would ever promise something like that. Recruiters are all salesmen, and one of the first rule of sales is to never promise something that you can't deliver. From my understanding, recruiters have been specifically barred from making that kind of practice since the very beginning of the all-volunteer army concept.
If the recruiter did violate his training (something that I'm only willing to conceed for arguement's sake), Mr. Keys was either naive or an idiot, neither of which are grounds for an immediate discharge. As anyone who's ever talked to a recruiter knows, combat is always a possibility.
