A doctor serving with the RAF, Malcolm Kendall-Smith has been sent to jail for 8 months for refusing to serve in Iraq. A veteran of two Iraq tours and another in Afghanistan, Kendall-Smith found evidence that the war was illegal and he would therefore be breaking the law by taking part. He also criticised Amerikan forces for behaving "like Nazis" in the occupation. His defense was not allowed by the Court Martial and his sentence was imposed on the ratter more simplistic grounds that he "dis-obeyed orders".
