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.
But even before that, service leaders have opted for less confrontational dismissals as they are starting to process some of those individuals out of the ranks.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Dishonorable discharges would cost too much and there would be too much paperwork. A dishonorable discharge has to be awarded by a General Courts Martial. Very time consuming and expensive. My guess is many will use this as a way to get out of their contracts.

Cpl Vic Burk My thoughts exactly -- this is a great opportunity to clean the ranks of those going out anyway or just want out; Feeling many are in this category

SGT (Join to see) The discharge should be based on their character of service up to this point even if it is Under other than Honorable conditions. Why the hell did they change it? It used to be a more appropriate term, Undesirable Discharge. I remember in boot camp every squad bay had all five discharges posted.
