Yes, in order to discharge student loans which fall under the criteria in 11 USC 523(a)(8), the Bankruptcy Judge has to specifically declare the repayment of the student loans to constitute an undue hardship on the debtor or a dependent of the debtor in order for the student loans to be discharged. To get the Court to do this, yu have to file an Adversary Proceeding (i.e. a federal lawsuit) against the student loan lender during the pendency of your bankruptcy case. Also, the standard for "undue hardship" is very tough, unless you're like 97 years old or permanently paralyzed, you better plan on paying them!

What is meant by a military discharge in World War 2 classified as for the convenience of the government?

The convenience of the government was a catch-all basis for discharging a service member from military service for a number or reasons other than a dishonorable discharge. It basically stated that the government either no longer wanted or required your continued service and approved your separation from the service. Section 8 discharges (for those deemed mentally unfit for service) were considered a for the convenience of the government discharge but not all discharges for the convenience of the government held such stigma. These types of discharges also typically included reasons of family hardship, any physical or mental conditions that would impair duty, or if the service member was determined to be a conscientious objector. A discharge for the convenience of the government is considered an honorable discharge and service personnel discharged under this rule may be entitled to most if not all veterans benefits, depending on reason for separation. The general demobilization at the end of the war was regulated by AR 615-365 was considered a form of discharge for the convenience of the government since the service of the soldiers were no longer required.
