Look at your itemized bill of sale. It should show a price for the car, then a bunch of other add on items like taxes, title, transportation.... But there is a line for items such as discount or down payment. The 1000 should appear there along with other items like manufacturer's incentive.
There is no cost to the dealer in the 1000 military discount. It is being totally repaid to them by the manufacturer so if they did give it to you I would wonder if they can show you a record of having submitted the information on your sale to the corporate office? I recently bought a car and the dealership asked me more than once if I were a vet in the price negotiation.
Now if they really offered to totally take the car back and refund your money which you seem to suggest they would, you have that option. Then buy the same car perhaps from a different dealer and be sure you get the discount. I can't believe you'd get all you paid however as it included lots of things like issuing a title, sales taxes, new or transferring plates etc that may not be recovered in taking the car back.
