Section 9b of the Enlistment/Reenlistment Document, Armed Forces of the United States:

"Laws and regulations that govern military personnel may change without notice to me. Such changes may affect my status, pay, allowances, benefits, and responsibilities as a member of the Armed Forces REGARDLESS of the provisions of this enlistment/reenlistment document"

In other words - Recruiters can not make any promises and the contract means little because the military can change ANYTHING, at ANY TIME, WITHOUT NOTICE to you.

Servicemembers are also subject to the military justice system (UCMJ) which denies many of their fundamental rights - including the right to free speech and the right to assembly.

So it is a correct statement to say that "The military is an employer which cares nothing about rights or freedoms and the contract you sign with them is secondary to military objectives."
