From Wikipedia: In 1958, while he was an airman first class, his commanding officer recommended him for an early honorable discharge. “In summary, this airman, although talented, will not be guided by policy,” chief of information services Colonel William S. Evans wrote to the Eglin personnel office. “Sometimes his rebel and superior attitude seems to rub off on other airmen staff members.”
Honestly, you gotta be a real piece of shit to get a DD normally, think rape or murder… Well, enough rape and murder they don’t cover it up.
That or smoke some weed.
Either way, “less than honorable” is the ‘easiest’ way to get rid of a complete fuck up.
The real monsters have an honorable though.
Drug use on its own usually doesn’t result in a court martial, which means it normally isn’t a DD.
Drug use would be a less severe separation like an OTH or general discharge.
So either you’re a bad, bad person or a totally normal person who did nothing wrong. Sounds like a useless label, then. Like a felony.
