He was a drug addict.
I was able to see him with Nitty Gritty Dirt Band at Oklahoma University in 1972.Yeah, Carlin was pretty awesome.
The Honorables have too many medals and masonic decorations and they fraternize too much with superior ranks at VFW and American Legion halls.> He received a General Discharge, not an Honorable one. His military record was very bad.

He dropped out of high school without graduating. He was a drug addict.
Carlin acknowledged his problem himself.He was a drug addict.
That is not in the story..
But he was a funny motherfucker.> Famous Veteran: George Carlin

A General Discharge, AFAIK, does not imply a reduction in rank or loss of civil rights.
The military cannot take away any of your civil rights. A General Discharge means you had discipline or drug problems.The Honorables have too many medals and masonic decorations and they fraternize too much with superior ranks at VFW and American Legion halls.> He received a General Discharge, not an Honorable one.

Wow..................you finally got something right. Correct, a General Discharge doesn't necessarily mean that someone was busted (reduced in rank), nor does it mean a loss of civil rights. In order to lose civil rights, you need to get a Bad Conduct Discharge (commonly called a Big Chicken Dinner in the service) or a Dishonorable. On both of those, you have to surrender your uniforms before you leave. Got many a set of dungarees from Navy Relief (as well as other uniforms) because they had to give them up. A set if dress blues new from the uniform shop could run you up to 300.00. Buy them from Navy Relief and you can get them for around 20 bucks.
COURT MARTIALS ARE CRIMINAL TRIALS. Carlin admitted he was an addict.> Famous Veteran: George Carlin

He dropped out of high school without graduating. He was a drug addict.
And was one of the funniest comedians of all time. Yeah, he had issues with authority. But none of the charges were serious.
Carlin won every accolade and recognition that was ever given to comedians. His "7 Words" routine was at the center of a US Supreme Court Ruling. He started out doing impressions in the 1950s, and ended up filling huge halls with sellout crowds for years.
His gift with the English language is without comparison in comedy. He was edgy and funny for over 50 years. He started when he was too young to get into comedy clubs legally, and kept doing it, better and better, for his entire life. (in his early years, he was arrested for being underage in a bar, he was handcuffed to a comedian who was arrested for obscenity - Lenny Bruce)
His books hit the top of the best seller list. His albums went gold and even won a Grammy. He was the first host of Saturday Night Live. And he did odd little roles in movies and on tv for years, including children's tv.
His intellect was huge, and he was fearless. Yeah, he used a lot of drugs over the years, but he managed to put them all down. Not an addict, but certainly a user.
Considering the contributions he made, the decades he entertained, and the truths he showed us, if all you have to say about him is that he dropped out of high school and had a General Discharge, you have missed the point.
I haven't missed a damn, thing, asshole. I told the damn truth. You are a coward covering it up.> Famous Veteran: George Carlin

No, I think you have missed it. I have not covered up anything. 50+ years of the best comedy in the business, and you want to boil it down to a General Discharge and drug use? Yeah, you missed it.
