uw,
I did a little googling:

history.navy.mil

UDCA -- Undesirable discharge, trial by civil authorities
UDDE -- Undesirable discharge, desertion without trial
UDFE -- Undesirable discharge, fraudulent enlistment
UDUF -- Undesirable discharge, unfitness

I think the Swifties in the title, "Unfit for Command" are telling us indirectly what they can not legally say out right. Kerry got a UDUF.

en.wikipedia.org

The United States military subdivides less-than-honorable discharges into four categories, in increasing order of severity:

general discharge;
undesirable discharge;
bad conduct discharge; and
dishonorable discharge.
Undesirable discharges or worse disqualify the soldier from receiving veterans' benefits under most circumstances, and any less-than-honorable discharge - even a general discharge - usually renders the discharged soldier ineligible for unemployment insurance benefits, because such a discharge is considered tantamount to having been "fired" from the most recently-held job.
