Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
Well, you know what?
This was a war. Soldiers kill people in wars.
If the wrong people got killed – and they definitely did (everyone that was killed was wrong, actually) – then the people who sent the soldiers in should be the ones facing punishment.
Frankly, I would support every American political leader from the Bush and Obama Administrations being deported to Afghanistan to face Taliban justice.
But the soldiers can’t be blamed.
A former SAS soldier accused of killing an Afghan civilian during a mission in southern Afghanistan more than a decade ago has been arrested and charged with the war crime of murder.
Oliver Schulz, 41, was arrested in the southern highlands of New South Wales by Australian federal police and NSW police. He has been remanded in custody and is expected to appear at Sydney’s Downing Centre local court in May.
In a statement, the Australian federal police said: “It will be alleged he murdered an Afghan man while deployed to Afghanistan with the Australian defence force.
“The maximum penalty for a war crime – murder offence is life imprisonment.”
Footage broadcast by the ABC’s Four Corners program shows an Australian trooper, allegedly Schulz, shooting dead a prone Afghan man, who is lying with his hands up, in a wheat field in southern Afghanistan’s Uruzgan province.
Schulz was a trooper with the SAS’s 3 Squadron, serving in Rotation XVII, in 2012.
Schulz’s arrest is the first war crime charge of murder to be laid against a serving or former Australian Defence Force member under Australian law.
Schulz’s arrest follows a four-year investigation by the inspector general of the Australian defence force, Maj Gen Paul Brereton, which found “credible” evidence to support allegations that 39 Afghan civilians were unlawfully killed by Australian special forces soldiers.
The Office of the Special Investigator was especially established by government to investigate the Brereton report’s findings for criminal investigation.
The AFP said: “The Office of the Special Investigator and the AFP are working together to investigate allegations of criminal offences under Australian law related to breaches of the laws of armed conflict by Australian defence force personnel in Afghanistan between 2005 and 2016.”
Last month, before parliament, the head of the OSI said the agency was investigating “between 40 and 50” alleged offences by Australian special forces soldiers in the Afghan conflict.
Martin Hamilton-Smith, former SAS officer and the national chairman of the SAS Association, said the organisation “welcomed the fact that this will now go to court”.
“We take the accusations very seriously and commend those who referred them, because they are members of our association as well,” he told The Guardian.
“But we make the point that the defendant has the right to the presumption of innocence, and to have these allegations tested before a properly constituted court, so that the truth can be established.”
Listen: everyone killed in Afghanistan was a civilian. The Taliban had a civilian militia. They did not have a Western style army.
This is just total bullshit.
I don’t care if he did kill a rando. It’s a war and he’s a soldier.
This is very obviously just a way for the leaders to avoid being blamed.
A while back, China released video of Australian soldiers doing some nasty deeds, and instead of taking responsibility for this stupid fake war they started against innocent people, the government is blaming the poor saps they sent in to kill people.
“Yes, we sent you into this random country to kill random people, but you killed them too bloody hard, mate.”
