Well, that's a pretty bold claim. Any proof to back that one up?

What I see is the Army offering up to $40,000 as an enlistment bonus for certain individuals, and up to $10,000 to pretty much anyone, enticing people to join. I also see tons of commercials on TV highliting the more positive aspects of enlisting. I also see recruiters getting busted for doing shit they shouldn't be doing and saying shit they shouldn't be saying.

But it's not like recruiters are gonna tell their command every time they lie to a kid or stretch the truth or talk about only the good things about military life, so recruits are even asked if anyone has promised them anything other than what is in the contract, and there is a line in the very beginning of the contract saying that anything not in the contract is void. If people refuse to read their contract or speak up when asked about their contract and what it means, what else should be done for them? I mean Christ, these are legal adults.
