Breaker Morant doesn't quite apply unless you are a mind-numbed, robot-like, knee-jerk Liberal puke, e.g. Hildabeast or Obamasama, or maybe Teddy the Hulk ~ somebody like that.

You have to be someone who thinks the higher ups have something to hide.

Still, concerning Australian military parallels, there's an element of Gallipoli in this ~ civilians totally disinterested in the outcome make decisions that get troops killed, then stop by for dinner at a 4 star restaurant or something.

You forgot your recent history

Breaker Morant was about placating the Boers who wanted peace

They demanded a sign from the Brits that the Brits wanted peace

The false prosecution for war crimes of Morant, Whitten, and the other guy were that show of peace

What the US had was ABU GRAHIB. In order to show the world that the US polices it’s own people, we have Hamdania and Haditha, and The Iron Triangle SSgt Ray Girouard.

I think the parallel is unmistakable.
