The (less than honorable) discharge serves as a scarlet letter of dishonor, and the effects can be severe

And that is by design and for a very good reason.

As a 20 year retired vet I earned my benefits with "faithful service".

I put many people on the street who either could not or would not soldier and I'm proud of every one of them. I saw it as insuring my good troops didn't have to carry the dead weight of the scumbags.

As an E5 Motor Sgt I once put more out during a quarter than our RE-UP NCO got to re-enlist.

So it was up to you to cull the army?
Yeah, I saw A Few Good Men, too. Great movie.
