  Center for the Study of Sexual Minorities in the Military | UCSB   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Military regulations have moved increasingly away from criminal prosecution to the discharge of homosexual service members in response to changing views among medical professionals about the root causes of homosexuality.
The military would be prohibited from asking a service member about his or her sexual orientation, but it would still be able to discharge service personnel on the basis of credible investigative information, or if the service members voluntarily admitted his or her orientation.
It lists the grounds of discharge as engaging in, attempting to engage in, or soliciting another to engage in homosexual acts; stating one is homosexual or bisexual; or marrying or attempting to marry a member of the same sex (National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994, 1993).

 Military discharge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A military discharge is given when a member of the armed forces is released from his or her obligation to serve.
The discharge rumor is believed to have stemmed from an incident in which he was brought before a board of inquiry after leaving a disabled truck he was responsible for in order to search for food and water.
Discharges occurring at the end of a term of service are almost never referred to as "administrative separations." In normal military parlance, an "administrative separation" is when an individual is being involuntarily released from service, either for misconduct or medical disability.

A military discharge occurs when any member of any branch of the armed forces is released from their duties.
Honorable discharges also include situations where a term of service ends at the order of a judge or court, a conflict ends and the unit is relieved from duty, or if someone has been denied a promotion two times in a row (this last occurrence tends to vary between the different branches).
Anytime a person is given a military discharge that they consider to be unfair, they can challenge the discharge and either get their original status reinstated, with all the accompanying benefits, or get the promotion they were looking to receive in the first place.
