This relates to his pre-war posting to a remote desert garrison, where he missed his wife and family, and certainly drank a good deal, before resigning his commission.

As to whether he jumped or was pushed, the record is unclear. For that reason, one might guess that he was pushed, and then later used his high status to conceal the unflattering truth.

You are thinking of Ulysses Grant who actually resigned voluntarily. There may have been some pressure on him to resign and his drinking may have been a factor.
