26. Possibly an administrative discharge but not a DD
Sun Jan 5, 2025, 10:45 AM
Jan 5

Controlling authority is paragraph 5-17 (other designated physical or mental conditions) of Army Regulation 635-200, Administrative Separations. If you're too screwed-up to stay in the Army - wanting to lay Washington, DC, to siege to remove anyone who isn't a Republican from the government sounds like he qualifies - they can get you out in a day's time if so necessary.

Dishonorable discharges are only for soldiers who commit serious crimes, and just saying you want to storm DC to drag off all the Democrats isn't a crime (you have to actually storm DC to drag off all the Democrats) isn't a crime. But...I sure wouldn't want one of these guys running one of my Operational Detachment Alphas, like he was doing before he blowed himself up real good.
