Australia’s most decorated living war veteran has lodged an appeal against a civil court ruling that blamed him for the unlawful killings of four Afghans
War hero? This man was found to be a war criminal by the courts.
He abused his wife, and threatened to kill her and multiple soldiers who reported war crimes in Afghanistan. There were a whole series of special forces soldiers who came forward and testified that he did commit the war crimes, including some who openly agreed with him that you should be allowed to murder unarmed civilians, but who were still too dumb or honest to lie in court about his crimes and testified that he did them.
And why on earth would you doubt those accusing him? His entire supposed motive for the accusations is that they’re jealous of his medal … … … so they risk perjuring themselves and going to jail to gain nothing but tear him down and ruin their own reputation and that of all their colleagues? Yeah, we can either believe that, or believe the soldiers that testified to witnessing war crimes despite death threats against them.
What the fuck is this headline?
