Australian 'war crimes': Troops to be fired over Afghan killings

Australia's defence forces have sent notices of likely dismissal to 10 special forces soldiers following last week's damning report on the murder of 39 Afghan civilians and prisoners.

They are suspected of being accessories or witnesses to the killings, or of being dishonest in testifying.

They are separate from the 19 Special Air Service troops who could face prosecution for the murders.

Australia's prime minister and top military commander have apologised. Afghanistan called the murders unforgiveable but welcomed last week's report as a step towards justice.

LOL, in a war zone, a very high percentage of soldiers have more than a few moments when they really wish the would be fired immediately.

The purpose of the military is to kill people and break things.

If you don’t want them to do that, send politicians instead.

Send social workers.
Send white female elementary school teachers. I have a high school classmate who is extremely woke and would be perfect for the job!

If you are sent in to restore peace and you realize that nobody wants you there in their country and they are all out to destroy you. You get to the point of no return. Best to let Moslems kill each other. Just let them act like rats in a rat sink and let the Vermin run wild against each other. In other words, “Get the H out of there.”

They should just say they shot them under “Rule 303”.
