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).

But he is exempt (sort of) if he is mentally Ill,, you only have to look at the numbers of ex soldiers living on the streets, in jail or with drink/drug dependency to know we have a massive problem and that's not counting the constant battle stress he has been under. Yes migration might be his best bet, to a country that values his service.

There are examples where troops have saved the lives of the enemy, instead of terminating it. War is a completely different world to the one we live in.

Unfortunately there is an argument, the winners make the rules, they shot prisoners they went to jail or got hung, we shot prisoners like on the crown of thorns hill in caen and the commanding officer of the Somersets said the remorse shown by the men was punishment enough.

He reaped what he sowed that's for sure, funny though isn't it, that guy got a medal, ours gets a courts martial and a prison sentence.
