Actually many people don't know that. A consistent problem on this forum is that everyone here is pretty sharp, and they tend to assume that everyone else is that sharp. The average person is a C or below student - and this guy is "uneducated," remember? Hey a military guy, a guy in authority, is telling me this, and I'm supposed to assume he's lying?

The Military MUST comply with every sentence of a signed contract. No where in his contract did it say he wouldn't be deployed. He signed it AFTER 9/11 where Bush had already said we would go where the terrorists are, to then claim he thought he wouldn't be deployed after signing up for an Army in a time of war smells like a dead whale on the beach.

Yes, we'll all admit he was stupid to believe he wouldn't be deployed. I wouldn't have bought it. But then the question arises - should military recruiters be allowed to prey on stupid people?

Sorry does he think the Military offers these things because they're generous?

Well that's what the recruiters say. And you're right in what you said - only an idiot would fall for that crap, and most everyone, including the recruiter, knows that. So logically that means the recruiter is making those promises because he is hoping that an idiot will show up and fall for it. Is this acceptable? As I said above, should recruiters be allowed to prey on idiots?
