According to news today it's not only the courts in Iraq that is interested in British soldiers.

Probation staff union Napo said its figures show that one in ten of prisoners currently held in British jails used to be in the armed forces.

Plaid Cymru MP Elfyn Llwyd confirmed that over 8,500 former soldiers, sailors and air force are currently serving sentences. He said it is an unacceptably high number for a body who once prided itself on discipline. He has called on the Ministry of Defence and charities to do more to help.
