While I completely get the stigma that desertion deserves, how the mental health aspects of this don't get any consideration is beyond me. Sounds like the court did take this into account and found it significant.

That Trump would blast the very process he's in charge of is laughable. Note to everyone in uniform. POTUS doesn't have your back.
