In response to the last post on the previous thread about how he could be discharged without being a member of the National Gaurd, I think he was hired as a civilian, likely attempted to do basic training but couldn't hack it and was discharged. You don't earn the title you don't get to claim you did. It's stolen valor IMO.
Civilian contractors do not go to Army Basic Training, only military enlistees. His discharge does not mean he actively did anything bad. I have not seen if his discharge was under general or dishonorable. If less than 180 days he is probably not qualified to have benefits or veteran status in most but not all states. The discharge for medical can include anything preexisting, even shin splints, minor heart defects or ADD. We simply do not nor likely will not know about the discharge unless it is brought up in court.
