A British man has reportedly handed himself in to the Desert Rats in Iraq after travelling there to fight for Saddam Hussein.
...
The man handed himself in after joining Iraqi militia in civilian clothing in an attack on UK forces.
...
Army sources told the Daily Telegraph newspaper that the captured man had taunted soldiers.
Corporal Jonathan Duffy, 21, an infantry man with the First Battalion Irish Guards, said: "He was being very arrogant and offensive, swearing at everyone.
"He said that he came out here to fight against coalition forces because he didn't believe in what we were doing.
"But when it came to it he didn't fight properly at all, he just surrendered. He was a coward."
I assume Britain handles treason in about the same way the U.S. does?
