Think deeper. When a service member is booted out they not only lose the job/pay/promotions (and in some cases their retirements they were close to attaining), but they and their families lose all their current and future benefits. Their life insurance and health insurance stops (wife could be pregnant for example). Their housing or housing allowance is gone. Their veteran status is taken away - no VA benefits like the VA loans I personally have used 3 times now. Many other benefits are also gone (maybe GI Bill as well?). They will also have a hard time getting a good job because they did not get an Honorable Discharge. They very well may go bankrupt because of the immediate storm of things happening to them, and the likelihood of minimum wage until they find a job that will overlook their discharge.
These assholes MUST pay for this. It's not just the members they screwed - it is their families as well.

Great response! I have been out for so long, I forgot what all came with the service.
