Re: Alleged War Crimes by Australian Soldiers

I have actually spent a considerable amount of time researching this very topic.
In a nutshell, some Australian soldiers have committed war crimes in Afghanistan. These crimes are not commonplace and in general, Australian servicemen (and women) have conducted themselves honourably in that conflict zone. Criminality is not a widespread issue in our armed forces and reported breaches of RoE are investigated thoroughly.
Unlike US forces, you can't find images of Australian soldiers posing with the deceased remains of murdered civilians after all...
