What does this mean?

This article talks about the number of desertions in the UK armed forces over the last few years. The implication seems to be that the number has increased because it links to a new law, of course, that forbids military personnel from refusing to serve in the occupation of another country.

Clearly a lot of armed forces are querying the legality of our Iraqi venture. The new law must be because they don't want the same hassle in our new Iranian venture. Oh dear.

Yet another area where we are hearing that there are no problems and yet we need a new law. I know our current leaders love generating new laws but there must be some reason behind this. I suspect that things are worse than they are making out. What a surprise.
