Because thanks to our kinder gentler society (which defines and/or encourages the policies and enforcement for US Military) where it's no longer politically correct to actually punish/correct/label/enforce as it was years ago, it's damn near impossible to get a Dishonorable Discharge or even an OTH these days.

I have first hand experience with this back in the late 90's as a senior PO in the Navy. I had junior enlisted that IMHO there was no doubt at all should have gotten a DD but more political heads prevailed. Which is why I'm not still active duty. When politics and the desire to CYA trumps the defined regulations as well as common sense it's time for a change.

Very sad set of events and kudos to those LEO's involved for putting down the gunman.
