Video shows Australian SAS soldier shooting and killing unarmed man at close range in Afghanistan

Why?

 

you have six men with a crowbar forcing your back door open with your wife and baby inside. You don't shoot ... your baby and wife will be raped then maybe burnt alive... while you watch...then they torture you & then you die.

You'll shoot through the door too B, I promise you that

 

Was that what was happening? What was the outcome of the court findings?

 

what do you think was the outcome B?

 

Scarlet, I have no problem. The people with problems are the killer, his companions, his Officer and any other bastard who assisted cover this up.

 

i picture her welcoming them in, disrobing while telling the criminals that they have more rights to her stuff than she does, so have at it...

 

This matter must be dealt with internally by people who can understand the circumstances, because it's clear from the Aussies here that Australians have so few problems in this world, they cannot comprehend a world where blood flows freely and regularly, they cannot comprehend what you must do to survive in these places. Everything is judged by "if it happens in the streets in Australia' and we all know the streets in Australia is like Disneyland compare to these places

 

your own tribunal exonorated him, you have zero proof of any wrong doing other than your disdain...

 

It has already been dealt with internally and that failed, because the killer (and I assume his associates) lied to those investigating. (You point suggests that only Cops should have jurisdiction over naughty behaviour by Coppers. Nah.)

 

I have appropriate disdain for a murder committed by an Aussie wearing an Aussie uniform. Yes, he was exonerated because lies were peddled by way of cover up.

 

No it didn't fail, it just wasn't' the result you wanted.... so you're going to do everything you can, including push stolen footage, probably classified and footage that should not be circulating in the public domain, just so you can get your way...typical liberal, cheat lie and steal as long as the end result pleases you.

 

proof? show the world your evidence of the lies & cover up...

btw, that video doesnt prove anything other than the person whom took it had no clue how to use a camera...

 

all the while screaming that others are cheating & lying...

 

From the Link in the OP:

 

There are in fact 55 incidents under the spotlight right now. The Regiment has a corrupt culture

So what? People make false allegations all the time, nothing has been proven and a terrific regiment with such a proud history should not be blemished by them.

 

Of course it failed. The killer et al lied as is clear....if you read t

By 'them' I assume you mean the killer and his enablers and those who covered up the murder, yes?

 

I made a comment about the Greeks possibly shooting the foreigners who are invading Greece. Some people think that it is wrong to shoot unarmed people. Therefore, the AXIS should have simply sent unarmed people into other people's countries and took them over without firing a shot.

When you are in a war the intent is to kill the enemy by whatever means you can. The Aussie soldier was in a war zone engaged in combat with the enemy, He shot one. So what? Did you want him to give the guy a loaded machine gun so that he could shoot back?

Bleeding hearts should keep their butts at home under their beds and out of war zones or else go do the bleeding themselves.

 

By them I mean the brave and tough special forces soldiers who have time and again put their lives on the line to protect us, people I have great empathy with which you obviously lack.

 

Have you read this thread?

 

Hear hear! The video shows one small point in a time frame. We don't know what went on before that and to sit back in the safety of one's armchair and pompously be Judge, jury and executioner based on that one very narrow point in time is dishonorable, shameful and downright disgusting.

Such people should be dropped into enemy territory with nothing more than a stick.

 

All that and you have no evidence that the bloke shot three times in the head at close range was 'the enemy.' Even if he was, he was unarmed and submissive.

 

By 'them' do you mean Australian SAS personnel murdering an unarmed submissive male in his own Country? I have great empathy for those ADF people who serve, but I have no truck for any of them who become War Criminals. They can 'hang.'

 

the 'enemy' had a bomb, a trigger in his hand...

prove he didnt...

anyway, why is it that left liberals always take the side of the enemy...

 

I am not taking the side of the enemy. There is zero evidence that the murdered man was 'enemy.'

 

even less evidence that he was killed illegally...

waaay less evidence of conspiracy to cover up a crime (that didn't occur)...
