Helps explain why the Light Division march so fast 
A cocaine-dealing ring of British soldiers that sold almost £100,000 of drugs to fellow military personnel have been jailed.
Rifleman Claudius Scott, Rfn Ryan Saedi, Rfn Ashleigh Walker and Lance Corporal Bradley Hesketh, who were all part of 5th Battalion, The Rifles, were sentenced to a combined 13 years and three months in prison at Bulford Military Court.
Addressing the four men, Assistant Judge Advocate John Atwill said: "You all chose to join a criminal conspiracy to supply cocaine to members of your unit for your own financial gain.
"You were a mutually reinforcing conspiracy that set out to sell as much as possible."
The 'network' of four soldiers dealt one kilo of the Class A drug cocaine at up to £100 a gramme to other servicemen at an Army barracks over a three-year period, a panel was told.
The court earlier heard Rfn Scott, 31, orchestrated the operation which saw the cocaine brought into the soldiers' base from west London.
