What a curious post.

A reasonable question.
Some, I am sure would be in prision whatever their chosen profession earlier in life.
This is a non sequitur. It is almost as if you are suggesting that one service will have more in prison than another. Why not find the answer to your question before reaching a conclusion.
Edited to add:
Today's Torygraph (3 Sep) p20f Liz Hunt says that it is
estimated that the number of veterans is 8500, ie not an absolute figure, and up from 2004 from 5% to 9%.
She previously said "former soldiers" which suggests strongly that the veterans are largely from one part of the services. If true this would increase the percentage of
ex-army veterans in prison in relation to the population at large. This would enable accurate focus for post-service care where it is needed rather than across defence as a whole.
