Bronson signs up to join the army because the advertisements make it look like summer camp. Later, he changes his mind and shoots himself in the foot, so he won't have to go. This does not frustrate the contract, though the contract may be avoidable on other grounds.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
