A secret that they dont want you to know in boot camp is that you can just quit (at least thats what Ive been told). Just like TexasTransplant says, people are not in the Marines until they complete boot camp. Therefore, because they cant be discharged from something they were never in, theres no BCD or other than honorable discharge.
But after helping managed the Camp Pendleton transient platoon for a few months after graduation, I think waiting there for many weeks in harsh conditions to process out is as bad as boot camp. Worse considering theyre reminded every minute that theyre washouts.
...Which thereby establishes a "motive" for Dan's anti-Vietnam war crusade, and for his later anti-Bush vendetta.

Putting 2 and 2 together, I now think I understand why Dan Rather Hates the Military and America his fixation on Clinton (the only President that I know of that loathed the Military)
