BBC News - Anti-Afghan War Awol soldier Joe Glenton jailed

I'm thinking not.

"When he first raised with his staff sergeant his reluctance to be deployed again, instead of being dealt with in a sensible way, it resulted in the sergeant at the time bullying and intimidating L/Cpl Glenton," he said.
"He was called a coward and a malingerer.
"When this information was brought to his commanding officer, the sergeant was spoken to, but this reinforced the bullying."

I thought our armed forces were slightly better than this, maybe that was naive of me.

Thoughts?
