So.....they didn’t know his discharge status? He was stealing from them? He was shot crawling on the floor by the bed to rob them?
Let me take a wild guess what his discharge was: Dishonorable!
He was a “doper.” Just like my 2 nephews who both got dishonorable discharges. Although the reason is not listed on the discharge document we all know why.
I suspected that he might have a less than honorable discharge, but I did not find any documentation of it.
