You can't eject USB sticks because there is no eject mechanism.  Only
CD and DVD drives have the mechanism.  You have to remove USB sticks
from the connector yourself.  The best you can do is un-mount them
first.  That's adequate.

Perhaps you are thinking of "rmumount -l"?  You can also un-mount
them from the desktop icon.

Notice that it un-mounted the device but didn't eject it.
