No matter your feelings, "He took an Oath" (federal oath) however, in modern politics the crime/punishment is way to lenient.
Some of his allegations was to attempt to persuade his fellow soldiers to throw down their weapons and leave their post. That is treason, and he should thank somebody he is still alive.
AWOL = Absent Without Leave = peace time, no longer a big deal.
Desertion = During a time of war. You will be hunted down. You will return to service, you will face repercussions. You will face your unit. And that might just be why the final federal charge is no longer as sever as it once was.
Morale = You get the POS out of the unit ASAP while cuffed and escorted by the MPs, only after he has repented, and recited his oath while the unit stands in formation.
