There are 8 different discharge types. You can read about them at the link below, but basically other than honorable is for serious violations (assault for example) that don’t meet the dishonorable criteria.

“Veterans with this determination may also not be able to vote”
WTF?
Military service is dangerous for multiple reasons…
Not just life and limb, but social participation. The only place where a non-felony can land you with felony restrictions.
As a veteran myself (I was young and dumb. I’m still dumb, but not young), I encourage everyone avoid joining the US military at all costs. It’s really not worth the free college (which isn’t worth a whole lot these days anyway, since everyone has a worthless degree).
I find weird that the right to vote can be stripped at all.
Here in Europe every adult can vote, no matter what.
Yes but you live in a more civilized society, in which personal rights are important enough for GDPR type laws.
Our populous is fucked.
Thanks for sharing.
