give this guy an honorable discharge.

Yes, please discharge this guy. Better yet, a courts martial.

It helps to build his Legal Standing status for Quo Warranto ... a sticking point of which he, the US Army JAG Office & US Attorneys are all aware.

He is not in violation of Article 88. If they try to gig him on an Article 86, 87 or 92 violation, when he's trying to bring a suit, such a move by the Army will likely be seen as plaintiff intimidation in later appeals. Yes ... he IS "government property" as far as the DoD and UCMJ is concerned, but he still has rights in the Federal Court system.

If he waits, the US Army will likely cancel his deployment orders, which he does NOT want, but likely has a contingency plan for. Even though the Army may appear to be using the heavy hand of intimidation, dissension in the O-5 and below officer ranks would be a bad move by the DoD and would bring much media to a story the DoD does not really want to see the light of day.

The professional American military officer is taught to avoid politics.

However — and trust me on this — there's far more officers and senior NCOs on AD and Reserve status who have doubts about their current CinC than they would EVER utter in front of a civilian ...

... unless and until they had NO OTHER CHOICE.
