A technicality almost let the General off the hook for molesting his daughter

13. almost assuredly yes

the only way an officer can lose their retirement/pension that I am aware of, is via court-martial with a dismissal.

Since he explicitly can't be tried in a court-martial, I don't see how he would lose his pension.

So yes, he keeps it.

Now, what COULD happen is this. When anyone retires, there's a board that reviews their service. Usually, this is pro forma.
BUT if they determine misconduct occurred, they can "invalidate" any service after that.

So let's say that this conduct happened when he was a CPT. The Board could determine that 1LT or CPT was the last time that he honorably served, and cap his retirement rank and pay at that level.

That board has already met once obviously. What I don't know is, could it revisit this with the new information/conviction.
