Aboard of inquiry for Lt. Col. Richard Kane Mansir — who was accused of lying to and deceiving multiple women while he was still married to his wife, and faking military awards and deployments to bolster his falsehoods — has recommended that he be separated with a general discharge, Task & Purpose has learned.
The board of inquiry, which convened on Monday, recommended that Mansir be separated with a general characterization of service, according to an Army official who spoke on condition of anonymity. A board of inquiry is an administrative proceeding, during which officers superior in rank to the officer in question examine allegations and investigative findings and makes recommendations on if the officer should be retained or not.
The discharge would allow Mansir to retain his VA benefits, but ultimately keep him from retiring. While a general discharge is “considered ‘good paper,’” according to the Army, “a discharge under general conditions may result in the loss of GI Bill benefits and civil service retirement credit.”
