Australian Troops under Investigation,
There seems to be a lot of histerical chatter and complaining about the treatment of our soldiers overseas. There has been an accusation of misconduct and actions taken contrary to laws of engagement. A Court Martial has been mentioned. It must be remembered that we Australians and for that matter British and Americans operate under the strictest moral codes in warfare, remember the Geneva Convention. That means that we must monitor our standards and investigate any breach of these standards. If our boys are innocent then hopefully it will be proven. How can we criticise the likes of the rebel Taliban etc and the terrible things that they do and then seem to allow or condone any errors no matter how justified on our part.
Praise must be forthcoming for the job that our service folk perform in terrible situations. They are upholding standards we hold pure.
