Christopher Minards threatened his girlfriend with a knife and pushed her and her twin sister during a petty argument over spilled jelly.
He had just come home from working a night shift as a hotel porter when he lost his temper and threw a mug at a mirror, breaking both.
His behaviour was so violent that his partner and her twin sister both fled the home in Newton Abbot and waited for police to arrive.
Minards, aged 32, is a former army medic who has been receiving support and treatment from veteran's charities for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) dating back to his service with 4th Rifles and the Welsh Regiment in Iraq.
