My question to this is what do you think of the people who have been separated and removed during basic or A School? As well what should they do once they are out of the branch they were in? Should they apply to a job like Home Depot and show of where they were in the military?

As with most things in life, the answer to a blanket question is: "it depends". Some folks quit; either because they cannot adapt but made a good-faith effort to try or because they didn't make a good-faith effort and didn't try. Some leave because they are shit bags who have no place in the military, period. Some people got too broken to be recycled or were too broken to begin with, but tired nonetheless but obviously didn't make it. I saw many different examples of both good and bad people who, for whatever reason, didn't finish the process.
There are any number of reasons people do not make it to graduation, and it is the "why" that makes the real difference. As far as what such a person "claims" in terms of military service, I'd say that if it matters for reasons beyond egotistical reasons, just stick with dispassionate facts, but never(!) lay claim to a status never held.
Rule of thumb: Don't be a "thank me for my service" kinda guy, especially if you didn't make it out of training!

Well, if you go to college, but don't finish can you clam that you have a degree? If you have not finished and was washed out because you quit (don't care what their excuse is, they quit) then you are not a vet and there is no need to tell a prospective employer. If you were serving and got hurt and could not continue, then you served with honor and I will call you a vet and you will have a medical separation and should inform a potential employer.
However, the military is not for everyone, there are some people that leave and that is the right thing for that person, so honestly there is no hard feeling from me, just don't call yourself a veteran.

SSG (Join to see) " if you go to college, but don't finish can you clam that you have a degree?" That is a wonderful analogy!
One guy I went to OSUT with had all the heart in the world and worked real hard to become an Infantryman, but he had severe enough scoliosis that caused him so much trouble, and frankly never should have been let in. In the end, there was no question about weather he could go on. While it can be said that he should have known his limitations, I respect his effort and willingness to try.

SGT Dave Tracy - For a person that served such as your friend, with honor, they get my respect. But someone that decided they didn't like the Army after shipping and decides to be a POS to get kick out, they are worthless to me. It is one thing to do your contract and roll, no problem with that. But to get washed out because you quit, no excuses
I served with a kid at Lenard Wood that got sent home due to an unknown medical issue, he was a rock star and great guy, sometimes its just not in the cards and that is ok.

No different than the other gents below said. They tried and failed, and if it;s medical it could be worse as it could even be out of their control. However once they start saying they're a vet or that they were in the service...well that's a different story.
