RAF doc sentenced to eight months for refusing to go to Iraq

I had a post on this story last night. Flight Lt. Malcolm Kendall-Smith of Britain's Royal Air Force, who said the US actions in Iraq were "on a par with those of Nazi Germany," was sentenced to eight months in prison for refusing a 2005 RAF order to return to Iraq.

Kendall-Smith served two previous stints in Iraq; he's a doctor, and would not be expected to be in combat.

He'll have a lot of time to think about his refusal to follow orders.
