Our Australians, should have had the Head of Army [along with his 1st 20 deputies, in seniority], in Afghanistan, leading all patrols.



"Show us how its done boss."

PROBLEM SOLVED.

Dumb fukking grunts.

What do you expect when you equip racist white supremacist idiots with weapons.

Decades ago, when hunting was still ok, we were coming back after not seeing a single pig.  Suddenly one of the people near me blasted a whit cockatoo out of the top of a tree, showering us in white feathers.

WTF are you doing you faarking idiot!

"Well, we are hunting, ya have to shoot something."

This is the type of person in 2nd Commando Regiment.

All to often, people on the Interweb choose to condemn others on no evidence.  Let us stand back and see what develops in this story before we choose to comment.   It would be better to let this, if necessary, to go to a court martial than to prejudice matters from prejudgement.   >:(

Former Australian commando under investigation over 2012 Afghanistan rotation

WAR IS RACISM

Just  on Novosti - senior officers in 'Ghan may be stripped of medals... the rot is finding its way to the head of the fish.... but I think this needs a full and open investigation.  There are errors and errors of judgement - then there are wrongful things done or condoned.

It reminds me a bit of Philip Caputo, USMC platoon commander, who was charged with murder when troops under his command murdered a civilian suspect.  He was pissed off... yes... he was pretty graphic in his instructions to the snatch team (body-snatchers) that the civilian was NOT to be killed or maltreated.... apparently the troops read this as - "Waste the bastard but make it look good!".

Same-same a Captain in the 1st Cav who came in from a hot patrol and went to sleep, woke to find two dead civilians in his wire, killed by one of his platoon commanders.  HE was charged with murder as well, and had to face a court martial... not convicted.

There are errors and there are wrongdoings.... errors are why we have after action reports and bat things back and forth to find the reasons why .... wrongdoings are in a category of their own....

I've already said that young Hastie was sent out half-baked and not 'in the know' of actual things that could happen on the ground.... that is the fault of higher. He either should have been told clearly or he should have been told this sort of thing was not on.

Still - this should be very carefully sifted so as to ensure only the guilty are blamed.
