Yes. In order for a contract to be dissolved (assuming no fraud/breach/etc by either party) both parties must agree to dissolve it. The written contract that says all verbal contracts are null and void proposes the government's agreement to dissolve the contract, and when you sign it, you, the other party, are also agreeing to it.
Now, in my mind, that doesn't make it OK for the recruiters to lie - it just clears the way for them to do so without jeopardizing the soldier's continued forced enlistment.
