Let us hope the officers who knew of the atrocities and covered them up are exposed and punished.
No doubt that Grappler will use this opportunity to publish one of his fantasy anecdotes to defend the indefensible. https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/politics/federal/special-forces-rookie-blooded-by-executing-an-unarmed-man-20180605-p4zjmw.html Quote:

If you get into a fight and your opponent starts cheating. And you know he is going to beat you to a pulp if you continue to fight fair. You have two choices. Get beaten to a pulp by an immoral and cheating creep. Or Start using his own tactics against him and beat him to a pulp. Why fight with one hand behind your back? Fight to win, regardless of the means or methods. Fair fights are for competition and games. My old man used to say. The only fair fight is the one you win, no matter what it takes to win. |

To make it to the SAS, psychopaths are weeded out, to turn our soldiers this way, if it's true, you can blame those they had to fight. Or those who ordered them there. |

Although I can't speak on behalf of the other forum posters, I bet that they would see the abhorrence of war crimes, regardless of who committed them. I don't condone war crimes committed by the SAS. But I would make the bet that they have committed some to make a point to their enemies. The army in East Timor, allegedly, used dead bodies of the enemy to interrogate the enemy prisoners. Apparently, it was effective in extracting information, without having to cut into the bodies of the interrogated. Though... I would choose a different strategy. |

They should not have been there, in the first place. The Northern Alliance drove the Talibs (Scholars of Mohamed) out of Kabul. So far, so good. All the West needed to do was keep the NA armed, but George Bush needed to look tough with the US electorate after 911. And so Australia got roped into an unwinnable war. The difference between the rare atrocities committed by Australian troops and those committed by the Scholars of Mohamed is that civilised people abhor such conduct and deal with it, while the Scholars use atrocity as their prime strategy, and believe it is ordained by God.

The Northern Alliance only has control in Afghanistan because of US military intervention. If The US didn't get involved the Taliban would still have control. Still, I agree.

Howsabout declaring Saudi Arabia a terrorist state, and imposing sanctions where they are not allowed to sell their oil. That would be a great start.
As for soldiers in a war zone, well they should carry a thermos of tea and a pack of teddy bears, instead of weapons, and have a kumbaya sing song with any head chopping jihadist they encounter. Ask any lefty, if we were just more understanding and nicer to them, they would ignore all the quranic verses calling for murder and death to infidels. White male patriarchy is the real problem.

Not even a remote comparison... the rate of PTSD - around 30% in combat troops and that includes nearby ancillary troops as well - is generated (wait for it) as a RESULT of the exposure of otherwise civilised human beings to an uncivilised environment. It is a PSYCHOLOGICAL disorder created by environmental factors in otherwise normal human beings. Psychiatric issues are rapidly discovered and weeded out, and nowhere more than in Special Forces, which, contrary to cafe gangster belief, rely on intelligence, composure, training, and teamwork and has no place for 'lone wolves'. NO psychopathic individual ever gets into Special Forces, and even if the shrinks miss them, which is unlikely, the sergeants sitting on a Selection Board will find them out... ye've my word on it. Sometimes extraordinary measures are called for, usually in response to extreme actions on the part of an enemy - for example, the SS declared that they would take no Airborne prisoners if Europe was invaded, and the Hitlerjugend Division massacred Canadian prisoners as a matter of policy. The PAVN did the same, and Yon Islamites are noted for their barbarity towards prisoners. There is no justification in such circumstances for not meting out the same in retaliation, and it is often the case that this can occur. US Airborne routinely refused to take SS prisoner, because the SS did it to them, often in horrifying ways, and neither did the Canadians after their experience in Normandy with Hitler's young murderers. In Vietnam, considering the massacre of wounded at Dak To by the PAVN, and atrocities committed by them even early in that war, it is no wonder that some US troops killed PAVN soldiers as a matter of course. The 101st Airborne had the same early on with captured wounded tortured to death, leading to PAVN prisoners being executed out of hand. I've told you before, about the Ia Drang, the wounded to killed ratio for the Seventh Cavalry was extraordinary - for the simple reason that the PAVN/VC killed wounded out of hand. There are no rules in a knife fight. |

This is glossed over a lot - but part of the reason the Australian Corps was so successful in 1917-18 was that they were ruthless and bayoneted Germans out of hand. The 18th Battalion in particular was famous for a throat thrust, and thus the Germans often ran rather than face them. That's what happens in wars. In WW II there were many charges of atrocities against Allied soldiers, but none was ever convicted. Compared to the atrocities of the Germans and Japanese they were nothing. |

Bismarck Sea Battle - by that time the Japanese had massacred natives, massacred prisoners including hospital patients, had tied up an Australian prisoner at Milne Bay and bayoneted him before they were kicked out, beheaded an entire Dutch missionary family on the north shore of New Guinea.....strafed parachuting aircrew and beheaded captured aircrew.... by that time not too many had any mercy for them. They sowed the breeze and reaped the whirlwind, and didn't show any remorse or humanity even later, when they massacred POWs rather than allow them to be liberated.
They got what they deserved and what they paid for in blood of others. Even the natives had had enough, and any survivors of the Bismarck Sea were head-hunted by hostile natives who'd been savagely treated. If the choice is between them and you/yours - who you gonna call? Ghostbusters? |

Sums up a pile of theoretical snowflake bull. How many allied soldiers committed atrocities during WW2? Thousands? Tens of thousands? More than that? I have recounted here several times, of hearing from the perpetrators as they laughed about what they did to Jap prisoners on Kokoda. Murders and atrocities were not just from one side. Very often they were acts of retribution after witnessing things that made them stop thinking of the enemy combatants as fellow humans deserving decent treatment at any time, in any way. Prats sitting around their tellys passing judgement upon such people in such circumstances is obscene. They are too stupid to make such judgement, and too shallow to be able to empathise with what hell these men have been through. Someone must judge their actions, that we know.

There are always many sides to a story. But my friends this is war, pure and uncensored. This is not a Hollywood movie where Rambo comes and clean up the evil guys and go home.
In a lawless country made up of regional warlords, with many alliances - the US, the Taliban etc. The only language that everyone understand is violence, and after a while, when one is exposed to so much of it, a new level would then be needed. It is all good for us to sit behind our monitors and criticize the action of our soldiers. But, when you are constantly exposed to danger, violence, high tempo stress, one tend to make decisions that we don't make otherwise. Look there is enough suffering and blood shed already. In places like Afghanistan, there is not such thing as right or wrong answer, as anything can kill you. We should instead provide more help for those soldiers to get back to the community. I can bet that there would be some serious PTSDs with the people involved. |

Boy Love Thursday?
When girls and women get a break? Sanctioned by their religion? Wonder how many of the Oz SAS saw that culture personally? Mitigating circumstances if they're charged with atrocities? And then what do the boys do when they're a little older? Rape their little brothers on that oh so special Thurs Day? What would you do if you had a lethal weapon in your hands and were being paid to use it if you saw some 7 year old boy being raped up against a mud brick wall? |

PZ547 appears to be having a war in it's head with homosexual pedophilia getting on top of PZ547. There was no pedophilia in this story. Even in Australia pedophiles are not executed because the melding of executions with pedophilia excites conservative extremists like PZ547 and it's ilk. |

Oh that it were BS, but sadly, it is not. Forget you not, that Uncle Joe Stalin was one of the allied leaders, and the number of Germans murdered, tortured, and raped, under his direction, was indeed multiple millions. Oh, if only those pesky Russkis could be the sole source of post war barbarism, we could take some moral high ground, but alas, do your own research, and you will find, that US leaders, "FORCED" US soldiers to keep plain old Wermacht soldiers,( NOT SS scum, or filthy death squads, but just soldiers, that the men on the ground knew, were very little different to them), in open fields, behind wire, without shelter, on starvation rations, without following even the most basic rules of the Geneva Convention. Do your own research and find out just how many died in the custody of US and British forces, and get back to us with whether or not you still call BS. Please. Sadly, not our proudest hour. |

There are no rules in war.
Oh, the pathetic cowards sitting in Geneva, who have never got their politician hands dirty, woukd love to set ground rules so that war was less disgusting than it is. But war is what it is. Just go and look around the war memorial in Canberra. The weapons just get nastier and nastier. The damage these things do is terrible. One thing the human race has in spades is imagination enough to find more and more disgusting ways to kill and maim each other. Seriously, if you ever fought in war, watched your mates die at the hands of the enemy and didn't feel the need to destroy them, you would be lying. I have never fought in war, thank God, but I know I'd want to decimate anyone who was trying to kill me. All the niceties of rules and such are BULL shite. Thought up by cowardly politicians who have never fought. Screw them, fight to win and destroy the target. When you fumigate for termites, is there any quarter given? |

Were the Russians really allies? They had the removal of Germans from their territory at the forefront .. but at the end of the war what did they do? As for German soldiers dying in detention after the capitulation for one reason or the other ... more was done for them than done for those they imprisoned & murdered in their death camps. |

Even before the surrender of Germany, Eisenhower knew that the supply situation would not be adequate to feed millions of POWs and civilians... there was also a need to identify war criminals and such, including SS murderers, and thus many Wehrmacht etc personnel were held longer than would normally have been the case.
A terrible crime against the West was the deaths of countless POWs in their hands, and I say that even though the supply situation was very bad, there was no real excuse. Better to have let them go home, wherever that was, and perhaps find some sustenance with family. Blame Hitler and his thugs for not surrendering sooner, before the dreaded autumn into winter set in..... they should have surrendered after The Bulge, when their last shot was broken, and countless divisions with it, and unconditionally to the Western allies.... regardless of whether or not Ike and Co would accept that without the Russians being involved. How many German men, women and young men and women did the SS hang or shoot for failing to defend the Fatherland to the last? If the Wehrmacht had any sense, they'd have turned their guns on the SS and Hitler. |

Don't blame the troops for the political decisions - they obey ... they have the vote, but no real conscience vote other than being asked if they wish to go.... not many say No and never from Special Forces - it's part of the creed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOeYPpOblAw ADDS:- I will say this again - the SASR are not being employed in their proper strategic role, but rather as 'men with sideburns' taking out the 'Taliban infrastructure' in Commando style raids. They are very capable of this, but it is not really the arena in which they should be employed... in some ways I feel that the Afghanistan experience will be a lot like Northern Ireland and The Falklands for The Regiment... a highly unsatisfactory and costly venture. |

Yeah, well that's brilliant, Rube - the allegations have been corroborated by whom exactly? A Fairfax investigation? What constitutes this corroboration? What is involved in it and how viable is it? How will it stand up to examination? Stop jumping ahead of yourself while playing one man leap-frog. ADDS:- For those who claim to be 'liberal' and to have a 'liberal' education - there are an amazing number of the same who leap to condemn on accusation without reference to fact, and to accord absolute right to be innocent until proven guilty beyond ANY reasonable doubt as only the 'right' of some 'oppressed' social group, such as women, Muslims and similar, and Indigenous. I suppose those who throw out that line are some kind of Antifa. ::) |

Where did I say all police officers? My uncle was a very senior police officer in what was the crime capital of NSW, and he was held to be 'the honest cop' by both the police force and all those with whom he ever came in contact. Every decent police officer should rightfully condemn any wrongdoer.... and in view of the honour of the position ... especially wrongdoers amongst his/her own. Police culture has got to be dismantled, lest we run the risk of another NAZI state, or one in which the rule of law has broken down entirely and people are convicted on accusation, rather than on provable facts. Can you argue that all honest police would not be best served by an honest force? Or would you rather that remorseless and dishonest psychopaths rule the roost? |

Actually, NO IT WASN'T. As far as war just getting dirtier and more horrible, as crazyone-B23 said( I try not to personally engage with the absolute loons on here), that is also false. WW1 was the height of barbaric horror at the behest of the directors, with the gas attacks. After that it was agreed that chemical and biological weapons would not be used. Crazy old Hitler, who everybody loves to call the monster of monsters, did not deploy nerve gas or anthrax or the other worse things at his disposal, in a last ditch effort to save the day. Watch the Jeremy Clarkson doco about his father in laws WW2 exploits, and how after days of torrid fighting, surrounded and outnumbered by the Wermacht(that is the name of the regular German Army, you know the millions who were just soldiers, doing what they were ordered, like the poor sods on the other sides) the allies were in a bad way. The germans called a truce, and offered the allies a day off fighting, to evacuate their wounded, and bury their dead. Sound like the nazi fanatics of hollywood legend? WW2 had some very barbaric acts, but the fire bombing of dresden, and the atomic bombs on japan were right up there for pretty freakin terrible. Not a lot of lily whites to be found. Seeing the disingenuous scum from the press, seeking to demonise guys who have had to endure more than a poorly stocked mini bar when away on assignment, does not fill me with glee, and the pricks lining up to stick the boot in would be the first to scream "shoot him, shoot him, shoot him now" {a la Daffy Duck}), if ever a Taliban, or Terrorist got anywhere near them. So whilst rules of engagement need to be as humane as possible, you cannot release a Tiger and then bitch and moan when it scratches. |
