5. Technically it was involuntary.

The Reserve had large numbers of inactive officers still connected to the service.

Rather than wait for them to submit their resignations (many probably forgot and never formally submitted their resignation), they just cleared the ranks by giving them a hearty congratulations/thank you with an honorable discharge.

It was not a discharge based on Kerry's merits, but rather a mass clearing.
