Gents, I totally agree with the examples you have given. But was the incident in question a similar example or was it something more sinister? I don't know, do you?

All I am saying is don't sign a petition in support of something until you know what the something you are supporting is.

By the way, my wife has already signed the petition. Her reasoning: They are Aussie boys in harms way and we should support them come what may.

Hi Alan,
We know what we are supporting, and that is, the right of ALL Aust soldiers to do the job they were trained for, without fear of possible criminal charges for doing what is, as we former combat soldiers know reacting to an instantaneous and irreversible situation.

The whole crux of the matter,is that these young men,SHOULD NOT be exposed to the Media Madness, that we are all familiar with.When you have a home made Brigadier trying to lay down military law,without knowing anything about war,then that is a recipe for disaster.

PS.(I was always under the impression that a brigadier, commanded a brigade.Maybe thing have changed a little since I was in!! )
