A general under honorable can be given for behavioral or disciplinary problem.

[Richard Kimball]

Very true. However, it does not carry the stigma of a general or any other than honorable. One of the guys I worked with had a general under honorable, and although he was difficult to pen down on the circumstances, I think he got wind of his wife cheating on him and went over the hill to chase her down. They bounced him, but didn't want to ruin his life, so they went general under honorable.

There are a range of discharges, and even if someone is a problem, there are options to get them out without stigmatizing them for life. An other than honorable, though, means the guy who discharged Kerry wanted to leave a mark. That's assuming, of course, this information is accurate.
