It was an Australian movie set during the Boer War where basically the British executed two Australians for killing Boer Guerillas, in the hope it would help get them to the peace table. Morant was a scapegoat for the Empire.

I remember now catching the tail end of the movie on TV. Never got the title however. You're right. These inquisitions each time an islamofascist gets "iced" has the appearance we're "busting ass" to look PC to the rag heads by scapegoating our own guys. This kind of shit does not promote a high enlistment rate.

Evidence now indicates that troop strength is so low that the fat ass army paper shufflers are beginning to fill vacancies in combat units with women recruits. Supposedly something like 30 women KIA and 200 plus wounded so far. I can't believe this shit...that the US military is so feminized it will place females into combat roles (ground and air) rather than draft males to fill quotas.
