Wrong again. BTW, what's that like? They did get honorable discharges. You are conflating (not surprising) two separate concepts: 1) discharge from military service, and 2) conviction of a crime subsequent to military discharge. Imagine if they made eating cheeseburgers and all food that tastes good crimes punishable by death. There would be no one left in the U.S., and assuming you somehow lived to tell the tale, you'd be begging for these guys to return, so you'd have someone with whom to play bingo.
