In response to Leogirl's answer, it takes more than drugs and AWOL to get a dishonorable discharge. Those types of infractions usually get a Bad Conduct Discharge. While that is bad, hence the name, a Dishonorable is reserved for much more serious offenses.
If you commit murder, espinonage, rape, etc, you will likely see a Dishonorable. The guy who gets busted for smoking weed will not.

Without honor.
As appied to a discharge from the armed forces, a Dishonorable Discharge can only be adjudicated as part of the sentence following conviction of certain crimes by a General Court Martial.

Without honor.
From a practical standpoint, however, it means that if you're discharged dishonorably you are ineligible for the bulk of the military benefits that veterans get.

Look up John Kerry. He is the epitome of dishonor.
Rich kid, went to Ivy League School, had cake assignment in Viet Nam, played up his Million Dollar Wounds, lied against his fellow soldiers, negotiated surrender with the enemy in France despite US was winning, threw is ill-gotten medals at the White House, divorced his wife, married a rich old woman for her money, used his ill-gotten medals to show he was a Viet Nam vet, lied about the President, and conspired with Al Qaida in an attempt to overthrow the rightful leader of this country.

In reference to the military discharge, what it boils down to is that you have disgraced yourself as a soldier by commiting criminal , or immoral acts .

You don't play well with others. It's the 2nd worst way to end your military service.
