The military tries to refrain from double jeopardy in off duty criminal cases. The LtCol is getting the boot by virtue of disqualifying himself, plus whatever prosecution the civilain authorities pursue.

I knew that.Crimes committed off base while the soldier is off duty is punished per the policies/laws of the civilian jurisdiction involved.

What I was hoping for was that his discharge will cost him his pension...particularly if he's only a few months from hitting 20 years.
