So far as I know he was neither. Which is why he isn't in any legal trouble. He got kicked out for disciplinary violations running the gamut from banal to damn near legendary.

I agree that USAFA has not made it's case, and I don't think it ever will. As far as I can tell, they never release details of why a cadet is booted if it's not a legal issue. Not sure if it's privacy act or what. Actually, I don't think they ever say someone was kicked out (again, minus legal cases). You leave with a transcript without a degree, and your discharge has a characterization with dictates whether you'll be able to serve in the military again. We're never going to see his records, so I don't think you'll get the satisfaction of a true objective assessment

I have yet to find anyone "hurt" by this that I can feel sympathy for. But, I feel as though I somehow made myself defender of this program, certainly wasn't my intent. So I'm bowing out of the discussion.
