That's it - most of them were out the army but it doesn't change the fact that the "knee jerkers" only react when it's on the front page of the Sun and other tabloids. Fact is some of those cases commited suicide because of Army negligence.

Besides that it has been proven that ex-army are more likely to assault their wives and commit domestic violence.
