I don't believe these allegations are true or credible.

In part because I believe in the professionalism of Australian soldiers.

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.

60 Minutes, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.

For the record - probably three of the four most leftwing media organs in Australia (the other one of the four being the ABC).

[Robert DeLong]

If it’s coming from 60 minutes odds are it is total fabrication.

[blueunicorn6]

You decide you are going to kill someone by sliding into him and pushing him off a cliff?

Why not grab him by the handcuffs and collar and throw him off?

This story doesn’t pass the smell test.

[Hot Tabasco]

Once again 60 Minutes secures a guilty verdict in the court of public opinion........Disgusting!

[gaijin]

You'd have to be out of your mind to be in the miliary today.

[doorgunner69]

60 minutes is just liberal muckraking, no credibility other than with the most ardent leftists.

[Zathras]

I still remember the 60 Min attacks on the F15 and Apache Helicopter.

[a fool in paradise]

9-11-2012 wasn’t just the anniversary of the 2001 attacks.

It was the same day exactly as Benghazi.

[Bratch]

Such a deep level investigation on a war hero.

And yet, we still haven’t seen a copy of POTUS 44’s grade transcripts.

[Spok]

I’m still waiting for 60 Minutes to do a story about the Palestinians culture of homicidal hate and stated plans to commit genocide.

"But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate we can not consecrate we can not hallow, this ground The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here."

A. Lincoln, Gettysburg

If it’s from 60 Minutes,

it’s lefty ‘gotcha’ propaganda.

[jocon307]

We’d never have beaten the Nazis (not to mention the Japanese) with this lot we’ve got now. Media, I mean, Establishment I mean, not the soldiers.

[joma89]

More doxxing of people by horrible, leftist media. I never believe the leftist media. Ever.

While I say the Australian forces are well ahead of the kiwis and the British, they pale in comparison to the Patricias. I’ve been out since 2009 though, so maybe something changed, but I have never seen any soldiers anything like the ones I served with.

It’s a miracle he’s alive though, and that’s great. Most VC winners are awarded that posthumously.

[TaMoDee]

Just following “Rule 303”.

[yarddog]

I would bet against odds that the Farmer was in fact a killer.

[rlmorel]

"... a shocking act against a handcuffed Afghan soldier..."

I don't get it.

Off the top, I distrust the entire account. It stinks of Leftist propaganda.

And wasn't the guy a farmer? Not a soldier? Afghan soldier turned, shot some friendlies then the SAS tracked the guy to a village and killed a farmer? And then there was the execution of the POW? Was the "POW" wearing a uniform or civilian clothes?

I don't buy any of this. This Leftist crap is what I expect of "60 Minutes" which is why I have not watched it for decades.

The guy was killed, but that story as told is nearly incomprehensible to me. Poorly written. This sounds like Leftist media out to get a scalp of some kind.

[Rummyfan]

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

[Rummyfan]

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!
