My quick research suggests thousands did desert in Iraq and Afghanistan, but many left before deployment and after already serving tours. Many only received one year jail time.

Thousands? I'd like to know where you found that info. The MSM would have had a field day with numbers like that.

I saw the desertion figure in the article, so I did this neat little trick and went to this site called "GOOGLE" and searched for figures. From Army reports, I verified the Wash Compost article. I also verified that Bergdahl charge is more serious than the average deserter who did not show up for deployment.
