What did I say that you think contradicts this?

First I'll respond to B2hibry.  He was relieved of his duty and escorted off of the White House grounds.  In essence he was "fired" from his job even though he did not lose rank, etc.  That's pretty much an "end of career" thing for an officer.  I don't know if the Army does FITREPS like the Navy does, but this will be reflected in his if they do which means no promotions, pretty much less-than-desirable assignments and basically forced out.  He will either resign or retire.

Now my response to mikey.

This is a nothingburger. Not the first time people made lateral moves due to personal conflicts and won't be the last.

This is very much not a "nothingburger".  It may seem like a "lateral move" to you, but it's pretty much the end of his career.  He will never make Colonel and is pretty much forced out.

It's a nothing burger to me. 
If he got a dishonorable discharge over this, that would seem unfair to me. if some arcane regulation said that President Trump had to continue working with him after all of this, that would also seem unfair to me. having his military career stagnate into a forced retirement a year or two from now doesn't seem unfair to me. 
I think you're assuming that he wanted a promotion, or that he expected to continue to serve decades into the future. If he did, then all of this probably sounds unfair to him. But maybe he didn't.
