I don't think so. When I was in the Army as an MP. I had to do a little AWOL apprehension duty. That was in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Back then if a Soldier went ALOW, after 30 days the were DFR’d (Dropped from the Rolls). My understanding was when caught, they were brought in, administratively reduced to E-1 and discharged. I think it was a general and not a dishonorable. But they were not sent to a Court Martial for desertion. Just saying. Things may have changed.

Also, my experience was not during time of war. That would change things.

I agree, not worth trying this guy. General discharge, maybe a short time in confinement but I doubt they’ll even do that.
