Can someone tell what "Greene received an honorable but

you have to do to get kicked out "honorably"?

I don't know, but I can imagine some things. Like, when you
haven't committed any crimes, but you're too stupid to find
your own socks.

It took the Army 13 years to figure that out? I think maybe it
was something else.

What do you think it is, David?

No clue, never been military, that's why I asked in the first place. I
don't see anything that would cause him to be unsuitable after 13
years of being suitable.

Shame you have no access to the internet...

My Google of "honorable but involuntary discharge" brought up mainly
cites of the Wiki Greene article.

A google search of the terms "Involuntary, honorable discharge"
suggests several options, including, Family responsibilities,
conditions that make service deployment impossible (chronic seasick,
etc..), inability to control weight,

Generally speaking, misconduct always results in an other than
honorable discharge.

After 13 years, perhaps he hit a bottle neck where there were not
enough positions available to move up, and he was moved out.

All of which I figured out before I Googled, I was hoping someone with
military service could give me something more specific.
