I agree with MajorKong but I also believe he will get a Presidential pardon shortly after being convicted now that Obama is a lame duck president.

That is a distinct, probably highly likely, outcome, given the reason you gave.

If/When Obama gives a pardon: Is he also awarded an 'Honorable Discharge'?

I think it would be a general discharge. Which is just a wee bit better than a dishonerable. Its the code on you DD214 that tells the truth when You have to show it to claim benifits or when your employer seeks job traing benifits from the State gov. Or getting a government job.
Nobody ever asks to see that piece of paper we hang on our wall that says Honourable Discharge. They want to see the DD214. That piece of paper is allmost as important as my birth certificate.

Just wondering does the Commander in Chief, or a President, by Executive Order, have the Authority to 'Revise' (Change?) a DD214?

I have asked many in the VA, and Academia. They just basically, shrug their shoulders.

Will be interesting.

As has been proven repeatedly in 6 years, an Imperial President has the power to do anything by Executive Fiat, as no one wishes to oppose him. Those with dissenting views are attacked by the DOJ (Bob Menendez, even though he deserves it), and those who support him are protected by the DOJ, (Lois Lerner, GOOGLE).

Imperial president... I first heard that term used in reference to Tricky-Dick Nixon. Anyone else here remember those funky uniform hats he made the White House guards wear because he wanted to appear more like one of the crowned heads of Europe?



Sorry, but I don't see Obama in this light. I see him more as wanting to be like one of the dictators. Perhaps like this one:

Major a facist is a bit of overshoot, quite a bit.

Its not a perfect fit, I will grant you. But there are a few similarities.

Ok, what about this one...

Major, your going from right to left, clearly your having trouble finding a sweet spot.

@ betreger:
In a dictatorship, a nation is ruled by the whims of one person, the dictator. The political considerations of left vs. right don't really enter into it. The whims of the dictator, THAT DAY, determine things. Besides, see my response to Clyde below.

@ Clyde,

As I have always said: What is the difference between The Right Wing, and The Left Wing?

Answer: Nothing.

Totally agree. Same, authoritarian statist methods.

As a Former 'Hippie' (for the girls really).
I loved him.

Did you know he was arrested in Sweden 1968?
Here is the story:)
47 Years Ago: Jimi Hendrix Arrested in Sweden
http://ultimateclassicrock.com/jimi-hendrix-arrested-sweden/

He wrote a song about it. "My Friend"

I say, "well, some people look like a coin-box"
He say, "look like you ain't got no coins to spare"
And I laid back and I thought to myself, and I said this.
I just picked up my pride from underneath the pay phone,
And combed this breath right out of my hair
And sometimes it's not so easy
Especially when your only friend
Talk, sees, looks and feels like you,
And you do just the same as him
Just got out of a Scandinavian jail,
And I'm on my way straight home to you
But I feel so dizzy I take a quick look in the mirror,
To make sure my friend's here with me too
And you know good well I don't drink coffee,
So you fill my cup full of sand
And the frozen tea leaves on the bottom
Sharing lipstick around the broken edge
And my coat that you let your dog lay by the fire on
And your cat he attacked me from his pill-box ledge
And I thought you were my friend too
Man, my shadow comes in line before you<br
I'm finding out that it's eh not so easy
Specially when your only friend
Talks, looks, sees and feels like you,
And you do the same just like him
(Lord it's so lonely here, hmmm, yeah)
(Pass me that bottle over there...)
Yeah, yeah, okay...

And this is NOT off topic.
At that many US Soldiers came to Sweden "deserting" from Vietnam!
