But it seems to me that prosecutors only reduce charges like that when they suspect the court case isn't so good, and they hope the defendant will accept the lesser misdemeanor in a plea.

If he is convicted of a felony they will throw him out of the Army. With a misdemeanor he can still lose his clearance depending upon the circumstances, his level and the adjudicator. So they might be trying to go easy on him.
