I'm afraid you're wrong. When someone is recruiting, they are making an offer. This consists of both verbal and written in the case above. While the written contract was not breached, the verbal contract was. As such, the enlistment officer should be penalized, and Key should be allowed to work within the promises of the verbal and written contract. In other words, the military should legally be required to follow both agreements. If they can't do that, they should shut their recruiters up.

Guess what, that'd hold weight if the recruitment office actually had the right to make deals. They don't, all they can do is filter the chaff and single out the people who can and want to make it through. They set you up for how to apply to the jobs you want, that's it.
They can't promise you the bonus, they can't promise you the job, they can't even promise you can enlist. That's all done during the physical where it goes up the chain of command. This was explained to me by all 11 recruiters I've seen since 2000.

Yes. Why? Because it is an ALL volunteer force. If one does not wish to fight a war that's fine, don't enlist. That's like a firefighter being paid, gone through training, then deciding he doesn't like the heat during a downtown blaze.
