The civilians may not give him the death penalty, but the military can for desertion during a time of war [which DOES carry this!]
And the Military has never promised that. The DA down there had to promise to get the dirt bag home, so the MARINE CORPS does not have to!

Desertion may not be the only capital offense he committed. If the original rape charges stick under the UCMJ he's looking at:
ART. 120. RAPE AND CARNAL KNOWLEDGE
(a) Any person subject to this chapter who commits an act of sexual intercourse with a female not his wife, by force and without consent, is guilty of rape and shall be punished by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct.
