Definitely a Military Tribunal in Baghdad ... not something in a federal court in NYC.

I would think the firing squad would be on the table also.

The last soldier executed after military trial for desertion was Pvt Slovak during WWII for desertion ... I believe.

Since he did not desert, that would not apply, however the last to die was in 1961.
