- what about these 3 Aussie diggers who were murdered in cold blood at their base by a sleeper Taliban insurgent in the Afghan Army - supposedly serving with them?
That's horrible.
But what does it have to do with the arrest of Ben Roberts-Smith?
You seem to be quite worked up about this and I don't understand why.
Again:
1. I have no dog in this fight.
2. I maintain that he's innocent until proven guilty - I have no opinion on his guilt or innocence. I'll wait to see what the courts decide.
Moreover, I have no beef with the SAS (a close relative of mine served with them).
All I did was ask a question and state a fact:
Question: Why wasn't he handcuffed when arrested? I thought someone charged with multiple murders would be restrained.
Statement of Fact: He didn't apply for bail. It seemed strange to me that he didn't want to get out of there as soon as possible. I certainly would.
You seem to be picking a fight that's not there - I am 100% neutral on the subject.
Because I'm incensed at BRSs treatment and this ongoing 10 year witch hunt against our most decorated soldier. That's why.
It's monumentally wrong.
