He is going to get the hero treatment with a parade, a POW Medal (and probably a Bronze Star and Purple Heart), five years of back pay (at one point, they were also giving POWs the max per diem for the highest rate anywhere for every day in captivity), a meal with the POTUS, a GC Discharge, VA disability and pension, and a book deal, TV appearances with a possible movie script, if they can figure out how to spin his desertion in combat as a honorable thing.
Watch and see.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
