Excerpts from article:
...The Army gave a Special Forces captain with 17 years of service and a Purple Heart only 14 days of notice to separate from the Army - leaving him and his family scrambling to figure out how to pay all their bills for at least the next few months.
...His lawyers told him it would take six to nine months for the Army to adjudicate the board of injury's ruling and the medical board's recommendation, which would give him roughly until May 2020 to transition out of the Army.
...Despite a medical separation usually taking precedence over other kinds of separation, on January 6, 2020, Army Assistant Deputy Secretary Alexander Conyers convened an "Ad hoc review board" and denied his medical separation and severance pay, and instead gave him an honorable discharge and just 14 days notice of separation from the Army.
...Gardner's office said in a letter that the Army has not addressed all the issues his case raises and that he will be following up on his case with the Army.
...Breitbart News queried the Army as to why he was being honorably discharged versus medically separated, whether his discharge is a result of him coming forward with mental health and marital issues, and why he was given only two weeks notice to leave the Army instead of allowed to use 67 days of earned leave.
