it was drugs, but he probably took them with the intention of getting caught and removed.
He engineered his exit
The Army’s official records identify JKK as the separation code for enlisted soldiers discharged for misconduct (drug abuse) under Army Regulation 635-200, Chapter 14. Boards of Review +1
What that means for Bhank
If the document is authentic and belongs to him:
* The military officially recorded drug abuse as the reason for his separation.
* This is not merely a message-board rumor or speculation.
* It doesn’t automatically establish that he was addicted to drugs, what substance was involved, or the circumstances of the incident.
* It does establish that his military separation was officially classified as drug-related misconduct.
The interesting part about “his copy”
If he claimed his personal copy didn’t show JKK, that could be legitimate—different documents or versions can contain different information.
But if he was specifically denying the recorded separation reason after someone produced his actual DD-214, that would be a considerably more suspicious explanation, especially given his reputation for lying.
The exact wording on his DD-214 would settle the distinction. The National Archives explains that the DD-214 includes separation information, including the official reason and separation code.”
