Wait, so Whelan is a citizen of four different countries & was dishonorably discharged from the Marines? Something there (to me) doesn’t pass the sniff test.

Not exactly. He was discharged for bad conduct, which is not as severe as a dishonorable discharge. If I'm not mistaken, it involves a demotion and stripping of some veterans benefits, but he is still eligible for military retirement. As for his crimes, this is what I found:

Paul Whelan was discharged from the Marines for bad conduct in 2008 after being convicted of larceny.

The specific charges against him included attempting to steal more than $10,000 in 2006 in Iraq and using a false Social Security number to create a false account on a government computer system to grade his own examinations.
