OK, my two cents.

General comment: Let's wait until all the evidence is in and considered before we try and figure this out.

Specific points: We do not leave our people behind. Period.
We do not tolerate desertion in the face of the enemy. Period.

So, was it right to get him back? Of course it was! As to how it played out, let's wait until all the evidence is in.

Was it desertion in the face of the enemy? Or, was it "battle fatigue or shell shock or ptss or what"? Again, Let's wait until all the evidence is in.

Is he a hero? No, a hero does that which is above and beyond the call of duty. He clearly does not fit that definition.

Is he a casualty? In some respects he appears to be, but, let's wait until all the evidence is in.
