Oh  dear.

'Historical Rumors: Various rumors surfaced during and after the war, such as the myth of "female snipers" hiding in the hills, but these have been dismissed by both Australian and Turkish historians as "pure fantasy" with no basis in military records.'
Do you have any refs to that?
Anyway, the law is not removed by people breaking law. The Jap prisoners at Cowra were not abused.

Again, that may be true but dodgy leadership can't be used to change what is law.  It's common knowledge that ADF, the diggers of Anzac, don't shoot prisoners.  They don't torture, don't take out anger by beating up captives and do give first aid to enemies even while still in their trench after surrender.

The background may reduce jail-time (if any) but it can't change the law on murder.  Kids know what murder is.


There are no rules . There are  no laws.

You do as you are told to do.

And you do it till you can’t anymore.


All that exists in the moment is the back of your  comrade in front of you and the hope your comrade behind you is still alive to protect yours.


It’s primitive, it’s evil and it will never be forgotten.

There’s no rules, laws, police or umpires.

There is a culture within your team.

Unwritten rules, laws.

Some take prisoners.

Some don’t.

It always comes down to the people in command and the orders or “ vibe” they cultivate/ cultivating.


I’ve shared way too much.
I’m out of here but trust me combat isn’t like court.

There is no black or white. It’s dirty, evil and full of disgusting acts you perform to survive.

Grey?

bugger.k saying that there is  no grey.

No one can ever understand.

Stay safe and please insult each others in a advance way 😂

Is there a claim that Ben was just following orders? Even if the battle is intolerable, it's still known that if prisoners are murdered there is a consequence.  These acts weren't in the midst of battle, they were cold blood, it seems by news.

I wasn't the one that raised Afghanistan in this topic. he has been charged with alleged Afghan war crimes, he was one of those there at the time of the shooting. Should it have been ignored?  You really are a dolt. Roll Eyes.

When a grubberment betrays its own soldiers by advertising cash for tales from the people who will sell their souls for money.
And then hound heros wasting $3,00,000,000.00 to prosecute them.
We have sick twisted grubberment.

Then they use WOKE obviously bias judges who have never seen anything more dangerous than a slippery bethel floor.

I sincerely hope Ben takes them all to the cleaners and Sue's them for billions.

It’s an incredibly completely random timing he was arrested on the tarmac and that there just randomly happened to be news crews in the perfect position to capture the scene.


News crews?   Undecided

No.

The video footage was recorded by the police.

Trial by Media again - what's the bet on a hung jury or a failed jury?
https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/other/former-sas-soldier-speaks-about-brs-case/ar...

Former SAS soldier speaks about BRS case

An SAS veteran who saw Ben Roberts-Smith in action while serving in Afghanistan and accused him of committing war crimes has broken his silence.

Mr Roberts-Smith, who is one of the country’s most-decorated soldiers, was arrested and charged on Tuesday by the Australian Federal Police over alleged war crimes.

He was arrested by members of the Australian Federal Police after being charged with five counts of war crimes – murder – where he is accused of taking part in five killings between 2009 and 2012 during his deployment in Afghanistan.

He has not entered any plea and is entitled to the presumption of innocence. He has at all times denied the allegations.

Speaking to Nick McKenzie on 60 Minutes, the former SAS soldier, known as “Person X”, said he wanted to believe the former soldier was a “hero”.

“There’s a lot of people that do not agree with what he (allegedly) did in Afghanistan,” he told 60 Minutes.

“On the other hand, there are a lot of people that are on his side. Most of them are the general public, who want to believe in our so-called heroes.”

An unnamed former SAS veteran alleged Mr Roberts-Smith was involved in war crimes during the deployment in Afghanistan.

“A hero is not someone who harms individuals – innocent individuals,” he said.

He has told authorities the alleged actions were done “after the dust has settled”.

“There’s no fog of war. There’s no bullets flying around, there's nothing like that,” he said.

“Person X” told 60 Minutes said he believed the alleged actions were “completely contrary to (the) mission”.

“We weren’t there to kill civilians or people who didn’t deserve to die – non-combatants,” he said.

“I don't think any Australian would want our soldiers, our ADF, going overseas and (allegedly) committing murder, essentially in their name.”

The unnamed veteran said the other soldiers who spoke out against the alleged war criminal were “vilified” and labelled “rats”.

He described them as “heroes” who have “physical courage” and “moral courage”.

“Those fellas that (spoke out), they’ve suffered greatly,” he told 60 Minutes.

“It’s sad, but I believe that the blokes who ... stood up in court … they’re the heroes.”

Trial will be long and complex: former war crime prosecutor

Former war crimes prosecutor Graeme Blewett said the investigation into Mr Roberts-Smith was complex and could take two years.

“(The jury) will be bringing to the court their own understanding of what’s happening,” he said.

And news of the forthcoming arrest was made to select individuals. Why was that?

Why was it recorded? Was he fleeing the country? Returning from Easter Break? Was AFP head honcho ordered to film? Roll Eyes
