The real injustice in my eyes is not that he was a deserter or that he may have joined the enemy. While those acts are bad they would be the actions of one person and given their mental state maybe they had a change of heart and thought they were fighting on the wrong side. However as stated earlier other good soldiers lost their lives looking for him, and the internet is full of slit throats that deserved to be traded for 5 detainees before trading for a deserter. I would not be surprised if I read tomorrow that he converted and was aiding the enemy when he was a "captive". I also wouldn't be surprised if he was found swinging in his cell by his shoelaces. He just seems mentally fragile and don't see this ending well, court martial aside.
