This is such a cryptic headline for anyone unfamiliar. Even reading the article its not immediately clear without the context of the community this was posted to.

this headline was 100% readable for someone old enough to have lived through this nonsense. seems trivial to lookup the policy if young ones are unfamiliar

A: "Dont ask dont tell" is a completely made up bullshit phrase specific to the US that makes no sense outside of context

B: Without knowing about A its impossible to know whether them getting a "honorable discharge" is an improvement or not.

Reading the entire story and not just the headline helps.
