The german army didn't have objector rules and other methods of transfering and the punishment for desertion was death and not a 18 month jail term for leaving a army that you knew was at war when you signed up for.
Its no where near the same.
If she was conscipted you would have an argument.
If she had followed the chain of command, tried the hardship route and the objector route and was either denied it for no good reason or punished for it then you would have an argument.
As it stands she joined up to the military in a time of war, happily accepted a bonus to join up. then when she had problems she didn't follow the chain of command and fled abandoning her comrades and her mission.
She's not some hero, she's not an example to hold up as a protestor, she a moron and she's going to be an example to others who look to take the easy way out and abandon their duty.
18 months in Kansas is appropriate if not a little light.
The Godwin argument makes no sense here its nowhere near the same.
