To be eligible for military honors, a deceased veteran must have which type of discharge?

Dishonorable
Honorable
General
Any type of discharge

The correct answer is: Honorable

To qualify for military honors upon death, a deceased veteran must have received an honorable discharge. An honorable discharge signifies that a service member has fulfilled their obligations and met the standards of performance and conduct as required by military regulations. This recognition in the context of military honors reflects the respect and gratitude owed to those who have served their country with integrity. Other types of discharges, such as dishonorable or general discharges, do not meet the criteria for military honors. A dishonorable discharge indicates serious misconduct and is deemed incompatible with the honor typically associated with military recognition. A general discharge, while not as severe as dishonorable, may reflect a less than fully satisfactory service, which also does not meet the specific standards required for formal military honors. Therefore, to ensure proper recognition and honor, the requirement specifically mandates an honorable discharge.
