What got me in it all was
Bayliss had his sentence reduced from the two year starting point to 18 months, partly due to his distinguished career, which included active service in Afghanistan, Iraq and West Africa.
What about her distinguished service, after all the RAF is not just one person, it takes a team to operate and her service should have balanced out his service and his sentence should not have been reduced because of it. Though it was a pitiful sentence in my eyes to start with.
