Deserting your post in wartime is generally considered something that can be punished with execution, I believe, even when you don't disobey direct orders or leave your commander to die in doing so. That he lied about being a hero afterward is just extra.

Whether that's the best punishment for this case is another matter, but if we couldn't ensure the public's reaction to anything else was appropriate, we could still see about getting away with killing him. He might be more useful as a martyr than a living womanizer.
