3. Both guardsmen and recruiters are at fault.

Incompetent, bonus-seeking recruitment officers applied for enlistment bonuses for soldiers who didn't qualify, in order to get soldiers to re-enlist.

Other guardsmen applied for bonuses based on criteria that they didn't qualify for- and some incompetent schmuck down the line rubber-stamped the request without due diligence.

It's fraud. If you receive money as a result of fraud, should you get to keep it?
