Realistically, administrative discharge under other than honorable conditions. This is the lowest form of discharge that can be given to a person without a court-martial.
If the military wants to try the member by court-martial, the charge would be desertion (Article 85, UCMJ) and the maximum penalty would be dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for 5 years.

Hello,
Actually nothing will happen. Currently over 25,000 soldiers have gone AWOL and the Military is refusing to talk about it or charge the soldiers. They need to keep the public ignorant of this fact because most people don't realize that overwhelmingly Military Personel and their Familys are agianst the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. If they prosecuted AWOL soldiers then it would be in the media, and a default admission that "Supporting our troops" means getting them outta there asap. Only Ron Paul will do that so untill then, I think personally I would go AWOL. Also don't tell anyone and keep it a secret. I can't stress this enough, if you are currently deployed and you tell them or something they will kill you. Look at Pat Tillman, he turned anti-war and was going to come home and tell everyone that Al-Qaida is a Phantom Menace. Alot of soldiers have been killed once it gets out that they are anti-war, and alot of soldiers have been found in shallow graves in the morning by Iraqi school children. So please just escape and don't tell a soul.

Others have given you the UCMJ consequences but here's a few more -- the discharge/prison time will follow you your whole life. Many employers don't look favorably on those who cut and run when the going gets tough/don't honor their commitments. Do your duty.

In the United States Service the consequences of going absent without leave (unauthorized absence in the Navy) — a maximum penalty of five years confinement, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and a dishonorable discharge. The maximum penalty for desertion in a time of war is death.

after 30 days: you are a deserter and the consequences include Brig time, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, BCD,loss of all VA and GI Bill benefits, oh yeah, and possible execution..although that is probably not going to happen.

you know what do absolutely nothing. one day on a random wednesday, a police officer will pull you over for a simple moving citation, run your name and find out your wanted by the u.s. govt. you'll be arrested, have to bend over and cough three times, and be processed. then you'll do whatever punishment you have to do for the military. then be escorted to the front gate and kicked to the curb like you are trash. your life will be screwed and you'll think how did i get here.
