It sucks!

Apparently, the judge asked him since both prosecution and defense recommended dishonorable discharge if he accepted that in lieu of jail time. If the deserter accepted that? Really? He was getting that no matter what! I don't understand why he was given any choice other than hanging or firing squad.

I am also glad he has been returned. However, it also indicates a serious change in policy of negotiating with terrorists and that bothers me.
