https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_McConnell

In March 1967, shortly before graduating from law school, McConnell enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve at Louisville, Kentucky. In August 1967, after five weeks of military training at Fort Knox, he received an honorable discharge for medical reasons (optic neuritis).

A Freedom of Information Act suit will determine whether McConnell— who has consistently prevented anyone from seeing his military discharge papers, but who claims he got out of the army in 1967— after just 10 days— for optic neuritis, was really discharged because he fondled a private’s privates. (An alternative version is that Kentucky Senator John Sherman Cooper managed to get him out. Cooper’s letter to the commanding officer at Fort Knox, where McConnell was stationed, is housed at the University of Kentucky Library with all of Cooper’s official documents.)
