Seeing the Military makes little effort to punish deserters
Although numbers rising, only 5 percent of lawbreakers reprimanded
all influenced the judge and i think many in the public think deserters are treated harshly or Shot as the POTUS suggested or a guy i heard at dinner last night 1 table over

I personally don't know how court martials and punishments actually work. But I'm curious as to what your opinion on how punishments would be meted if all of the deserters in your survey had been similar to Bergdahl's--going over to the enemy and costing lives. Would there be a more severe punishment if that were the case, in order to discourage such desertions.
And would, if all desertions were the type of Bergdahl's, would it be proper for a presidential administration to treat the deserters with honor before they were even tried?
