Dishonorable discharges for COVID vaccine refusal off the table as military separations begin

"Defense officials won’t be allowed to give other-than-honorable discharges to troops who refuse COVID-19 vaccines once the new defense authorization bill is signed into law.

Dishonorable discharge usually requires court-martial conviction. OTH is not as bad of a stigma, but is simpler and faster.

They should be given Honorable discharges IMO, the mandates are BS
