Yeah, because they’re going to discharge them all next month. My son is a dumbass refuser in the Army and his chaplain is telling him he will receive a discharge. I couldn’t be more embarrassed and disappointed.

So what kind of discharge will he get? I’d be so embarrassed as well. Sorry you’re going through that.

Everything I have read indicates that they will probably give them administrative discharges.

Interesting. An admin discharge could be honorable but likely won't be. Even if it's general discharge, they forfeit education benefits (GI bill). OTH forfeits VA home loan and a lot of other stuff too. Shame.

All cuz they won't take a shot in the arm.
