Reply #67: Nevertheless, it's doesn't sound like something I'd want on my record

According to the linked PDF document, a DD Form 258AF indicates a less-than-honorable discharge:

(d) If (obsolete form) DD Form 258AF, Undesirable Discharge Certificate, has been issued, it may be replaced with DD Form 794AF, Discharge Under Other Than Honorable Conditions.

Like most former service members, I have a DD 214 in my file with an honorable discharge.

In fairness to Bush, he may have received a less than honorable discharge in exchange for getting an early out to attend Harvard Business School. It doesn't necessarily mean they caught him snorting cocaine in his quarters or that anybody was just fed up with his absenteeism. Moreover, we know that Bush got an early out to attend Harvard. That is not in dispute.

What this would bring in dispute is that Bush received an honorable discharge, as he claims.

Well, I'm shocked, shocked, I say, to learn that Mr. Bush might possibly have lied to the American people.
