As far as I know, the
policy of allowing guys like CC to play ball in lieu of serving in an active military unit was not part of any contract. Rather, it was a policy adopted by the military which they opted to discontinue. So, the military didn't break any contractual provisions with CC, it simply opted to exercise its right not to confer special treatment to individuals with unique talents.
On a related note, I find it funny that CNN.com has an article about CC in which they say he was a
first round pick. So much for accuracy.
