(Not me) Official video from David McBride’s Official Youtube channel. If you don’t know who he is - I don’t blame you, with how little coverage this story has gotten
So it’s either A:
- David McBride is an idiot who misinterpreted what was happening as a defence lawyer investigating war crimes
- War crimes happened
- Commanders and Politicians aren’t smart enough to cover up war crimes committed by PR exercises like Ben Roberts-Smith by investigating otherwise innocent soldiers
Or B:
- David McBride is not an idiot
- War crimes happened
- Commanders and Politicians are smart enough to attempt to cover up war crimes committed by the likes of Ben Roberts-Smith (Australia’s most decorated soldier, was used to ‘sell’ the war to Australians).
I choose B, but hey, you know better because of some random BBC article and an ABC hit piece
