Pretty sure civilian courts can't order military discharge as a punishment.

Nope, and the military often let's civilian court go first, just in case there's lax sentencing like this.

I knew a guy who was drunk and "sure" a gun wasn't loaded, so he pointed it his riends head, and blew his brains out.

When I lost touch, he had been waiting for the civilian court case for almost a year and still in the military, but they were making his life hell in the meantime.

They were just waiting on the civilian ruling before doing their own and sending him to Leavenworth for it.
