A former soldier left traumatised by his experiences in war zones turned to drug dealing to fund his own spiralling habit.
Jason Maddocks was involved in supplying cocaine, ecstasy and cannabis on the streets of Swansea, with some of his stash being kept in a Pringles crisp tube fitted with a false bottom.
Swansea Crown Court heard the defendant had served tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq during which he was stabbed while fighting at close-quarters, as well as being shot. A judge said it was "shameful" that the psychological and physical welfare of people who serve their country is not properly looked after when they are discharged.
