From Honest Conservative on that thread:
Kokesh received a honorable discharge from active duty in November 2006, yes, but later while still a member of the active reserves disgraced his uniform which ultimately let to his discharge which was a general discharge.
According to ResistNet, Home of the Patriotic Resistence http://www.resistnet.com/group/newmexicoresistance/forum/topics/adam-kokesh-is-a-wolf-in?commentId=2600775%3AComment%3A2018222&groupId=2600775%3AGroup%3A140277
"He is a member of the Iraq Veterans Against War. he is a disgraced ex-marine. he has participated in numerous anti-america protests in washington dc, and has aligned himself with many anti-america and communist groups."
"He has admitted to drug abuse on his blog (which has since been altered since he started his congressional campaign but not before TAH captured it). Remember Kokesh when he teamed up with Jon DeWald to disparage veterans? Remember when Kokesh tried to start some violence on GWUs campus by tacking up handbills around campus that were obviously racist, but were blamed on a conservative student group?"
"He is a chameleon who changes his politics with the direction of the political wind. While the anti-war movement was deteriorating, Kokesh changed horses in midstream to become Paulian and now hes a Republican candidate in New Mexico.
Last March, Kokesh was marching with communists, anarchists and socialists in the ANSWER march on the Pentagon. Today hes instructing us on his commitment to the Constitution on FOX NEWS as a REPUBLICAN candidate. In just ten months."
The fact is, that a general discharge under honorable conditions, is NOT an honorable discharge, or it would be called," An Honorable Discharge".
A "general discharge under honorable conditions" speaks to the level of compensation a vet discharged under general discharge status, may retain his benefits to the level that he would have had, had he retained his honorable discharge status. It does NOT give the Vet an honorable discharge.
By definition: a discharge from military service of a person who has served honorably but who has not met all the conditions of an honorable discharge.
Again: "....But who has not met all the conditions of an honorable discharge". That is again, "Has NOT met the conditions of an honorable discharge".
He’s a disgrace. I hope he’s defeated. I have no idea what the district is like.

Kokesh has lost in NM-3, but I was hoping for more of a thrashing.
