To claim that, you kid pinning psychopath, you'd have to show just one post I've ever made about this guy. Bet you a million buck you can't, you Indian arse licking psyco kid pinning disgraced lawyer.

Now go and have a toss about putting your not small right hand on a kid in a school playground.

Gordon, its time for you to clean yourself up, zip up, and leave.

Terrible - Ben had gone rogue:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-08/roberts-smith-allegedly-directed-soldier-...

Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith directed one of his SAS comrades to kill an elderly man who was dragged from a mosque in Afghanistan, according to allegations examined by the Brereton inquiry into alleged war crimes.
Key points:

The August 2012 killing was condemned at the time by Afghan president Hamid Karzai but defended by the Australian government, who claimed the man was an insurgent
It was not part of Mr Roberts-Smith's defamation case against three newspapers, which was last week dismissed by Federal Court Justice Anthony Besanko
Mr Roberts-Smith's lawyer denied the allegations and is considering appealing the judgment in the defamation case

ABC Investigations can reveal the disgraced war hero's alleged involvement in the killing, which sparked a diplomatic row for Australia.

The Inspector-General of the Australian Defence Force Afghanistan inquiry, led by Army Reserve Major General and NSW Court of Appeal Judge Paul Brereton, recommended the incident be referred to war crimes investigators for further review.

The Australian government was quick to defend the August 2012 killing of Haji Raz Mohammad, an imam in the village of Sola, in Uruzgan province, claiming he was an insurgent.

But the Brereton inquiry found there was "credible information" that Australian soldiers killed the imam while he was unarmed and under control, and recommended the matter be referred to war crimes investigators.

The inquiry found credible information that an SAS patrol commander had directed or encouraged a subordinate to carry out the killing, and that another soldier allegedly planted a radio on the imam's body to conceal that he was not involved in hostilities.

"[REDACTED] took a local national [REDACTED] who was unarmed and under control … and not posing any threat, to a remote part of a compound, and forced him to the ground … [REDACTED], upon the direction and/or with the encouragement of [REDACTED] then shot him in the head, killing him," the Brereton inquiry report states.

The inquiry recommended the matter be referred to war crimes investigators.

Defence sources have told the ABC that the unnamed patrol commander was Ben Roberts-Smith.

I wouldn’t mind hearing from you all...esp those who have had ADF experience.

It was a crazy war. The Yanks reckoned not enough of our troops were getting killed .. remember that? ... at that point, we had no casualties and the yanks had quite a few, there was an imbalance of casualties between the two forces, so our guys went out and started losing their lives either being blown up by IEDs, shot, or in "green on blue" murders by turncoat Afghans

The yanks quietened down after that, we sustained some casualties, everyone was happy, including half-brain John Howard

A lot of people are guilty in this episode of recent history, even us for voting for politicians who sent the troops over there

I've never voted for the Labs and the Coalition, my conscience is clear, I'd never vote for them in a fit, it's always been against my better judgement to even think about it

I would encourage everyone to follow suit, the world won't end, it'll keep spinning, the sky will still be there, it won't come down and thump your head

Whoo-hoo, 136 pages to read. That can go on top of my 230 pages on workplace health and safety legislation and the 170 pages on infection control.

Will give you my opinion later about this.

If and when Roberts-Smith is convicted of any crime there will be cause to condemn him. Until then it is all mere speculation.
