So he’ll have to go back to being a surgeon and making money???

I'll just bet the state(s) pull his licenses to practice after a Court Martial and bad discharge. Unfortunate.

Perhaps, i doubt it. They usually only pull a license for a felony or a medical mistake. I seriously doubt this goes to a felony.

While it's not called the same for an officer, it's still a disqualifier to hold a professionial license in most or all states.

A measure of how much the man is risking. He's risking his pension, and his ability to practice his profession in the future.

I'm sure he understands all that too.
