Question

Can a former marine, who was honorably discharged, be stripped of his "honorable" discharge for a felony?

Answer 1

Only if he somehow cheated on his discharge and committed crimes while on active duty. Like if he was proved to fake a service connected disability and got discharged as a result of it. Or if he faked a hardship and was discharged for it. There are other reasons people fake something for a discharge.

If he committed fraud against the government while he was in the military and it was found out later he would be recalled and then tried for those crimes. If he committed other serious crimes the same would happen.

A civilian court can not take away an honorable discharge.

If he commits all sorts of crimes after his discharge, well then he will be treated like anyone else. It would not affect his military career because it has nothing to do with it.

Answer 2

No

Answer 3

Only if the alleged event occurred while on Active Duty and he/she was recalled back to Active Duty to face UCMJ charges and Court Marshall. If it was post service (after separation) and in Civilian Court-- no.

Answer 4

not unless the felony is found to have occurred while in Uniform or occurred on military property.  

for instance, if an on going investigation reveals that someone downloaded Child p**n to a Gov't computer, or was part of a smuggling ring, then they can be recalled to face charges and punitive action.  But any criminal offenses that occur after leaving Service cannot be used to alter a discharge status.
