Think that a little re-research would find that this is not so. They are either "Dismissed" or they 'Resign". They do not receive a "Discharge".

They are also "released" meaning no longer requiring service. Their commision can also be "revoked" which is a purely administrative not punative procedure.
For example, I was a commissioned Naval Officer on active duty. I was released into the inactive reserve under the Graham-Rhudman budget reduction but still held my commission. About 3 years later, my commision was revoked because I went through two promotion cycles (while on inactive reserve) without being selected for promotion to the next paygrade (Navy has a rule that an officer cannot go through two 'in the zone" cycles without promotion and still keep his commission).
