I don't know who is making them out to be "heroes"; rather sad old men who were afraid to return home because they feared court martial.

Other "deserters" on various islands married local folk and had families, started new lives - when they were discovered, they had to cover their asses from desertion charges so they made like the war wasn't over.

I believe some of these guys started families with locals. Are you sure you're not mixing them up with someone else?
