#5 He also expressed overall anger and resentment about the U.S. mission in Afghanistan and the way it was being executed. "I am sorry for everything," he wrote. "The horror that is America is disgusting."

Seems like he joined the Army to fix it. His father is probably still proud of him.

Then a President pardon.

#7 In the old days, if you kept your ID card, it was accepted as evidence of intent to return, reducing the charge from desertion to AWOL. No ticky, no washy.
