message: I believe that in the British Army, the initial distinction between cashiering and other forms of being dismissed the service was that in being cashiered the officer lost the price of his commision as well.  I'll try to dig out some sources.  David Underdown 08:57, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Related to etymology Websters Dictionary lists the identifies the original origin of the word to the French "casser" to discharge or annul. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cashier. I see also the online etymology diction also confirms this and its origin from latin. https://www.etymonline.com/word/cashier#etymonline_v_5438 CactusHills (talk) 02:47, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other implications 

message: Surely there should be a mention of cashiering done in other films and TV shows aside from Branded?  Two examples that come to mind immediately is the Married … With Children episode where Al gets hired as a security guard at Polk High School and is fired after one day with his uniform ripped apart (with a drummer playing the tune of Branded, incidentally) in front of the whole school; and the scene in Mary Poppins when Mr. Banks is fired — the top of his top hat is knocked out, his boutonniere is crushed, his umbrella ruined, and his shirt-collar is ripped.  Are they worth mentioning?  Or is that bordering on trivia?  --MicahBrwn (talk) 18:43, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the standard is whether the appearance in film, etc, brought some discussion. if not, then its trivia. for example, while the bugs cartoon appearance is probably not notable, an example of bugs bunny chewing on a carrot is absolutely not notable, as chewing, or carrot ingestion, doesnt need every example listed. I would be inclined to say that the mary poppins incident is notable, as it was a highly notable film and the event was an exaggerated use of the ritual.but properly speaking, wed need a movie review that said "hey, that cashiering scene was awesome/brutal/stupid".(mercurywoodrose)66.80.6.163 (talk) 23:33, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cashiering in other media 

message: I heard the term "cashed out" on NCIS: Los Angeles, referring to a 'bad guy' who had left military service and was doing mercenary work (or contract killing.)  Is it likely they were using a shortened reference to a dishonorable discharge as in the context of this article, or is the term used for any veteran who reaches the end of their military service?  I guess the second option might be common usage as in a gambling or similar context, they take their accrued back pay.68.12.225.100 (talk) 01:07, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cashed Out 

message: Reading an annotated 18th century listing of captains - there is reference to 'breaking' some at a military court, as distinct from cashiering (as a couple are listed as having been) them. I presume it was the swords that were broken - was it a lesser punishment or what? Jackiespeel (talk) 18:13, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: So what is the difference between being 'broke' (the word used) at a court martial and being cashiered? (The numbers in both cases were a very small fraction of the total.) For non-military-historians the sword #is# the most obvious thing that could be broken. Jackiespeel (talk) 22:44, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Probably just a misunderstanding (he was relieved of command by President Truman, but of course that's entirely different from cashiering). I've removed it. JBritnell (talk) 16:33, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
