He may be used as an example to others in the Forces. I just hope he will be judged by people who know the pressures of war, & not the pencil pushers. (Staff Officers).

I agree. He shouldn't be made an example of. I really hate it when certain sentences seem to be given to "send a message". I hated it when it was done for the London riots, for that idiot that scaled the Cenotaph, and I would hate it here. It's unfair to the individual in question to get a harsher sentence that he or she would otherwise get. He should be treated as anyone else would which means he isn't made an example of and he has the same right for migration to be taken into account (but he isn't exempt from justice for his profession).
