    yeah. Some people switch jobs. Some people switch teams in company. Nothing new.
    He's still a SAS operative, and so part of SAS. I don't care one bit if his training was not to the standards of SAS because he was trained somewhere else.

    He was “attached” to an SAS unit. That is all. Anyway, can we agree none of them should be there now regardless of their training? That’s the important part.

    Cool. You believe a journalist. I’ll go with Australian DOD designations. No worries.

    It's also according to himself. And it's not listed in any link you presented he was part of something else. All you got is "Attached to 3 Squadron SAS as a signals intelligence officer"... while it also says he is a SAS soldier. Seems totally reasonable that you can be a SAS solider while being attached to a specific squadron of that branch of the SAS.

    Like I said. You go with ignorant journalists, I’ll go with the Australian DOD. I know you don’t like facts. :)

    And you debunked nothing about him personally.

    I just state facts and back them up with links. I can’t control lies told by intelligence officers or journalists.

    You mean. The guy states he's SAS in his own book. A journalists says he's SAS... and you got a link not directly naming him but assuming this apply to him. Right. It's not on par with my 2 sources.
