"But the papers also give the reason for his dismissal."
I question this statement. What exactly does it say on his DD 214? The article already states that he received an honorable discharge so the section that address character of service will say honorable. Many years ago the military put reenlistment codes (RE) on the DD 214 but this practice has been stopped. So I wonder what on his DD 214 addresses his supposed homosexuality?
Of course in the "diversity" centered corporate world of today this will be a badge of honor and guarantee for employment.
it's listed in block 28, Narrative Reason for Separation...I've seen many of these...
I agree with you there. The article is FoS. If he got an Honorable, that is all that should be on there...
