They are supposed to honor their commitement. But, there are special cases. If a player gets drafted by the NFL he can apply for a waiver to be released bt will still be in the military in an unactive status

In terms of technique, the pros are better. But, try as I may, pro football is about as interesting as watching a Xerox/IBM executive softball game. The players on the team have nothing invested in their teams. There are only 32 teams, which means that vast swaths of the country really don't have a local favorite, and the tickets are typically so scarce that your Uncle practically has to will them to you. College on the other hand has the rivalries, the pageantry, and the sheer fanaticism that the NFL utterly lacks. Just go to an SEC game at night on Separation Saturday, and you'll know exactly what I mean.

After the academy, David Robinson had to do a five year commitment in the navy before going pro in the NBA. But he was "excused" from the last three years because he was "too tall" for deployment in many navy roles ... aviation, subs, ships. Wink wink, nudge nudge.
