Quite apart from the appalling English, I think you have missed the point. The convict had failed to report to the range, as ordered, and also for the fitting of equipment. Not with failing to go to war, though this is the obvious consequence.
I do however agree that the convict should have been subjected to a longer period of imprisonment. He was sentenced on 13th April, I believe. That's not even three months ago. Surely his sentence should have been longer than the deployment he was evading by disobeying the orders given. It seems he spent less time in clink than he would have in Iraq?
