I have been thinking this over while doing the washing up - quality thinking time.

Six months on the front line in Helmand Province would be too much like a jamboree, why do you think Harry Wales enjoyed it so much. Much harder and closer to the point would be an enforced attendance at the Rememberance Sunday ceremony. Where the wretched child would be forced to explain his actions and apologise, individually, to all those present. That would present the public with the opportunity to correct the defects in this stupid child's upbringing and education in a way that would be much longer lasting than a mere slap on the wrist by a Magistrate or a couple of hours community service.

I recall that a couple of years ago we had a problem with grafitti on the monument in Oak Hill Park, If memory serves, two Police Officers took the offender to the County Regimental Museum to explain to the creature what the monument was for and why it should be respected. Altogether a better outcome I think.
