Well if they have contracts for the higher amount... how is this a thing? Unless the contracts weren't signed by someone from the government who could sign those contracts? How would the soldiers know if the government recruiter was legit or not... yeah seems fucked. Government didn't supervise their recruiters correctly. Wouldn't that make all the contracts void? Messy. If the military needs bodies, they should just go back to drafting them. Would help society see the true cost of policing the world instead of taking advantage of the poor.
