Afganistan....RPG's, AK's, IED's, Mortars, Car Bombs...phew...survived it!......Australia....boxcutter...damn it! Kinda ironic really!

That's exactly how I read it too.....However I do agree with those that suggest that a persons background is irrelevant when assessing what punishment should be handed out to an offender. In this case though the fact he was in the armed forces in Afghanistan was only used to demonstrate the irony that, while he escaped death in that war torn country, he came pretty damn close to it in his own backyard.
