Supportin' the troo... aw shit
No honorable discharge for Iraq war veteran, but turkee for troops at Bush photo-ops.

A military panel announced that decorated Marine Cpl. Adam Kokesh should be stripped of his honorable discharge status after he wore his uniform during an anti-war protest.

Kokesh, who was honorably discharged after a combat tour in Iraq, now faces a general discharge, which would cut his health benefits and force him to repay the $10,800 he received to get his undergraduate degree on the GI Bill.

I guess we start fundraising for Corporal Kokesh, don't we?

This is inexcusable.

Actually, the general discharge will not cut into his benefits. Had he been given an Other Than Honorable (OTH) discahrge, it would have resulted in a loss.
