What is this - a replay of Breaker Morant?! I would not question the actions of any who have served in Afghanistan.

But also because if a group of SAS soldiers decided to go rogue and start committing war crimes... there wouldn't be any living witnesses. Yeah, that too!

The only people I know who still watch 60 minutes are my in-laws...and they are a couple of drunks.

Notice these ‘experts’ promote war - at their convenience - then when WE (the actual participants) go to it, ‘they’ tie our hands where we get to the fact that if one kills another on the battlefield one can be subject to courts-martial if he didn’t ID himself first.
These buttheads are trying to fight a war in the same vein as they are trying to promote the age old theory
That one can pick up a piece of $hiite by the clean end.

Maybe he should kick a commie journalist off a cliff and get a bar to that VC for it.

***the American version may well be garbage too,***
It was garbage forty five years ago.

This is Australian TV 60 Minutes. Just as bad as the original but a different outfit.

“Was it like this? No; it was not quite so handsome. As to rules and regulations, we had no Red Book, and knew nothing about them. We were out fighting the Boers, not sitting comfortably behind barb-wire entanglements; we got them and shot them under Rule 303!”

Thanks for the clarification. Fair to say a distinction without a difference?

My point was that you take a needless chance by running up to jump and plant both feet into the torso of someone you are trying to knock off a cliff.
It seems overly dramatic and dangerous to the Soldier.

Fair to say a distinction without a difference? Quite likely. I'm just not personally familiar with the American version.

Allegations
do not damn. If they did, Trump45 already would be in purgatory. Facts and evidence damn, not allegations.
This obviously "unbiased" headline has convicted the man before trial. Whatever happened to "innocent until proved guilty?"
