Probably a General Discharge. It won’t hurt him one bit.

“Probably a General Discharge.”

There are two types of General Discharges - Under Honorable Conditions, and Under Other Than Honorable Conditions. Worse than those is a Bad Conduct Discharge, and worse still is a Dishonorable Discharge.

General Under Other Than Honorable means that he will lose some of his veterans benefits, but not all. It does not count as a criminal record. It is however, a lot easier to administer to someone. A BCD or Dishonorable can only administered by Courts Martial.
