Pay attn kids, if you sign up for the armed forces, you will be hounded with this threat your whole life: "If you don’t do what we say you’ll get a dishonorable discharge and you’ll never get a job."
They even tell this to high school kids they suckered into signing up when they were just 16, then when the kid realizes what they’ve gotten themselves into and try to back out, the heavy handed tactics and threats pile on.
Cpl. K. clearly did the right thing, better to live with a dishonorable discharge than to commit an atrocity that he could never live with.
