I guess ultimately it depends on how you want to deal with it, you could play hard ball and tell the guy that he signed a release and was paid and therefore has to live with the consequences of his actions, or you could tell him that he could pay you back his fee and all production costs associated with the shoot.

Of course this is a business and you dont want to end up out of pocket for the shoot but, at the same time, do you really want to be the one responsible for fucking this guys career up for the rest of his life for the sake of a 20 minute porn shoot?

If you havent published the content yet, you arent really losing anything except a few hundred bucks and you gained some experience to help you make sure future military models are fully aware of what they are doing before getting their rocks off.

Personally, depending on the guy, if he was pleasant to work with, didnt have an attitude, might know some other guys who were interested in working with you etc, id be inclinded just to delete the shoot and put it down to one of those 'lesson learned' experiences and move on.

Would you rather have a guy going all over town telling potential future models that you 'fucked him over' or have him going around town telling his buddies how he did porn but you were professional enough to follow his wishes when he realized he made a mistake.

Sometimes a little good will can go a long way and word of mouth from this guy could do you a lot more harm financially than what you could make from the shoot itself.
