Judge Tonking told Savage: "I am not here to criticise you or the authorities but it ought to be recognised that when those who have been serving abroad in situations of combat return home, there needs to be a period of re-acclimatisation when coming back to the civilised world."
The judge added: "You were still hyper-reactive, those are conditions which in combat are necessary but on the streets of provincial towns in England they are dangerous."
