AFP flies to Afghanistan to investigate alleged Australian war crimesAustralian Federal Police investigators have travelled to Afghanistan to investigate war crimes allegedly committed by Australian special forces soldiers. A waste of time without a body as they can't establish the angle of the bullet entry, which would confirm if he was shot while in an elevated spotting position, or thrown from it then shot. Two equally plausible stories with the truth hinging on a detailed forensic analysis. When Australians get killed in times of conflict they’re are casualties of war. When Afghans get killed it’s war crimes. This is what happens when progressives get into the service to get their Uni degree who’ve never been on front line & never will.
