In local news, an Australian special forces veteran has broken his silence over needless civilian deaths in the middle east. He puts the problem down to a small, but "influential minority" that indulge "in self-glorification at the expense of the greater reputation of special operations." ABC with that one and well worth a read.
Ah I heard about this on the radio this morning and that article from the commander speaking out is indeed a good read.
It's obviously fucked up, but I don't know if going to the 7.30 report for military matters is the ideal path.
Will be watching though...
Mmm though with 10 years service, I doubt it was a decision he took lightly. Probably agonized over it for years and did what he could internally.
