[Charles H. (The_r0nin)]

Military investigators wrote that Copas "engaged in at least three homosexual relationships, and is dealing with at least two jealous lovers, either of whom could be the anonymous source providing this information."

So, by his actions as a gay man, he is disrupting the regular functioning of his unit (i.e. good order and discipline). He is no different than an officer sleeping with an enlisted man's wife. Both cause undue and extraneous (not related to the functioning of the command) stress within the unit, and should be cashiered pronto. Seems a simple and obvious case.

If anonymous emails accused a soldier of screwing one of the other soldier's wives, and he refused to deny it (because he actually did it), he'd be lucky to get an honorable discharge... in a perfect world...

Actually under military law, adultery is considered a felony and you could be subjected to jail time (At least this is the case with Officers in the AF)
