Especially in this day and age. In reading some of their reasoning I just don't have too much sympathy. Always going back to the recruiter and how they lied or mislead them.
Well one way or the other... I would say most will be back to the US to face the music.
False advertisement, people sue companies and stores for similar things. When you go and apply for a job, they tell you how much you're going to get paid and what your job will entail, only to have your pay even less then you were told and you end up doing a totally different job then what you were told..... you have the right to get the labour board or a lawyer on their asses..... or quit.
Or if you see a commercial for a product or go into a store and see a product, they tell you you get this this that and the other thing for a certain price, only to get back home and not have the thing they told you you were getting.
Those companies can get in a lot of crap for things like that.......
so how come the US military can get away with it? They're playing with the lives and security of nations, much more of a serious situation then a toaster that only has one slot you were told had two.
If you go into an agreement with the military and they tell/promise you one thing, only to drag you into the middle of another, then where's the protection of the individual put into that position?
But anyways, I believe we already had this debate a few times already.
If they lie or break a contract agreement with you, then the agreement is null and void and you should have every right to leave that contract..... just as if your cell phone company jacks up your monthly bill without any notification or agreement on your behalf.
