re: NPR fact checked article on Trump’s Hunter Biden claims

Discharge and separation from the military are two different things. You can be separated administratively or medically (prior to retirement). However the nature of your discharge (honorable, other than honorable/general, dishonorable) can differ. So, for example, someone can be administratively separated and still receive an honorable discharge depending on their command's prerogative. I imagine for Hunter Biden, he received an ADSEP (admin separation) with an other than honorable discharge. Command likely did not want to deal with any PR blowback pursuing a dishonorable discharge haha
