There are three major types: Honorable, General and Dishonorable. Honorable discharges are given to personnel who have distinguished themselves in the service, such as those permanently physically disabled during conflict. In civilian terms, this is approximately like a medical retirement, with the addition of recognition for exemplary service and dedication. General discharges are typically given to personnel who have served well but not with great distinction and are leaving the service at the end of their enlistment period. In civilian terms, this is approximately like retiring. Dishonorable discharges are for those who are ejected from the military for failure to meet the terms of service. In civilian terms, this is approximately equivalent to being fired, with the additional notation that you were unfit for military service.
Military pay ends on the date of discharge, for honorable, general under honorable, general under less than honorable, and dishonoralbe discharges. There are no residual benefits for less than honorable or dishonorable discharges.
Honorable, General, General Under Honorable, Medical, Bad Conduct, Chapter (most of which fall under General), Other-Than-Honorable, and Dishonorable.
I'm not a legal expert, but it's important to note that the U.S. Army doesn't typically discharge someone solely based on the affiliation or association of their spouse. Dishonorable discharges are typically reserved for serious offenses, such as criminal behavior, misconduct, or serious breaches of military discipline. It's always best to consult with a legal professional for any specific concerns regarding military discharges.

Walt Disney did not receive a dishonorable discharge because he never served in the military.
Anyone who is either on Active Duty, Reserves, or is a former service member is considered a military Veteran.However, recognition and status is based on the type of discharge - dishonorable or bad conduct discharges strip you of all Veteran's rights.

Yes, but not for members with Bad Conduct/Dishonorable. Members with and OTH (Other Than Honorable Discharges) are still eligible and can receive a burial flag. There are no laws that prevent someone from purchasing and draping a casket with a flag however one will not be provided military honors by the guard to fold and present it to the next of kin if you have a dishonorable discharge. You must have at least an Honorable or OTH discharge.
If you completed your first term in the military and were subsequently court-martialed during your second enlistment, it is unlikely that you would receive any benefits. The military generally provides benefits to honorable or general discharge recipients, and a court-martial usually results in a less favorable discharge status, such as a dishonorable discharge. Dishonorable discharges typically result in the loss of many military benefits.
