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.

While I agree to a point, he is being reassigned to the Pentagon and at the end of his temporary WH assignment as a 24 year LTC. This is not a less-than-desirable assigment, especially as a Army Field Grade Officer. In any case, because he can remain in service until 28 years, he will have another 4 more years available to obtain 0-7. He will not and is not required to resign. That would be punishment under the UCMJ of which he is not receiving. While his next officer EES will not look squeaky clean, he has plenty of time to recharge and make Colonel. Sadly, even if he retires at 28 years, he will be offered a premier contracting position after. This is all show and no go!
