Sorry, I don't see how someone getting a ton money suddenly loses the right to air any grievances whatsoever. The extraneous verbal agreements were violated, and hence I do not see how receiving money suddenly means that people can break their assurances on the receiver of the money. Taken strictly, it means that only those relatively poorer deserve to have promises kept.

I can see why in Albert's case, his exercise of such right is not well justified, as he overstepped the bounds by not attending mandatory camp.

But even so, receiving money is not synonymous with receiving goodwill or generosity. It's receiving the ability to buy goods and services. Hence, the general moral principle you and bunch of other are using is suspect at best.
