Re: Einstein in the hotseat
Actually no, if you were caught being gay in the military you were given a General discharge or if you were a marine, Dishonorable discharge. It depended on the local JAG office, and NO, not all Judge Advocate Generals were equal on gay discharges they gave the soldiers. It was either general discharge, or dishonorable. Lieing on the OFFICIAL form, "Are you gay." when you joined up is a strict no no. And just lieing on the form can give you a dishonorable any day of the week.
No, you get a Honorable discharge, after you have fulfilled your full term of service by contract.
Capeche!
