How to use "Deserter" in context?
When a person decides to leave the military or civilian workforce, they may face intense scrutiny. The decision to desert can have serious long-term consequences, which is why it's important to have a clear understanding of what qualifies as desertion. Under U.S. Military law, desertion is defined as purposely absenting oneself without proper authorization from one's unit or post. This can include refusing to go to battle, deserting one's post, or walking off the job. In order to convict someone of desertion, the prosecution must show that the accused left their post with the specific intention of avoiding military service.
