Soldiers with less than honorable discharges earned their scarlet letter and most had several opportunities to turn their lives around. They chose not to.
Benefits are not some welfare program in reward for voting Democrat, it’s deferred compensation for doing their job.
I served for 8 years, two of them in combat in the Infantry in Viet Nam. I didn’t have a problem getting a Honorable discharge, all you have to do is soldier up. It’s not hard.
