Chris Smith has weighed in on Ben Roberts-Smith, reflecting on the harsh realities of combat. “On the war front — it’s kill or be killed. I know which I’d choose,” Smith said.

It’s disgusting. #Free Ben Roberts!

Alleged crimes committed by a member of the Military should be tried in the military courts, never in a civilian court.

The left is attacking national heros This is the fall of the west

@LT_Aust In the event of an invasion, who would you want protecting you? Ben Roberts-Smith, or colonel Angus ‘The Army is Too Macho’ Campbell I know who I’d be choosing… 🇦🇺 🫡

It’s fucking simple. You don’t shoot a 16 year old in cuffs. It doesn’t get any simpler.

This is shameful, shame upon Australia’s military and government authority. This case should be dismissed and thrown out before it goes to court

whatever happened to what happens in the field stays in the field ffks labor govt spending millions on billboards in Afghanistan desperately trying to drum up charges by offering rewards to poor peasants of course they'll all put their hand up and write anything

@Neety55 Meanwhile we block visas for people who are Christians and allow people with international war crimes warrants into Australia.

The insidious cowards pursuing soldiers in this manner make you sick. They have never put themselves in harms way or experienced the stresses that soldiers whilst making life or death decisions. This soldier should be released and allowed to live in peace. He has earned it.

Stop calling Fuckwit Sadlou a journalist. He’s a fucking grifter and not an employee of any media company

Don't they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the victim was in fact a completely innocent civilian? How the hell do they think they're going to do that?.. Get witnesses from the Taliban? 🤦‍♂️💩💩

The man is a trained killer and that is his job when your are at war people get killed he should be honoured for his service not criticised from people who have no idea what war is like these men are assets to Australia and I solute him and our government should be ashamed

Morality governs his behaviors, and he chose to murder unarmed civilians. His colleague soldiers can uphold such principle in war zones, and you are telling me it is the right thing to do to abandon morality?

Actually, defenceless prisoners can’t kill you.

Kill or be killed when hey you have your prisoners' hands cable tied behind their back and subdued then allegedly murder them in cold blood. Funny that it's almost the identical crowd who supported pedo Pell, support pedo Trump now defending an alleged war criminal🤦‍♂️

100% - We should all stand by our military. They risk their lives for us and endure horrible situations. They do this for US!

Obscene!!! Albo is a traitor to this nation.

Wow that disgusting, this guy is a hero. The government needs to be held accountable not him.

This is scandalous. #freeBenR

The government lying as usual and a judge who gets paid to look the other way.. wow you halfwits only just waking up?!.. How many been in a situation out of your control? , This is nothing more than to break out spirit and dishonour Ben Smith.. I salute that man , not matter what

Why send the Military to war when you’re going to come after them later . For the job you sent them to do. I’m sure the farmer was Taliban. Free this man

This is all part of the plan. This will dissuade Aussies from enlisting in the ADF. This will in turn further weaken Australia’s ability to defend itself.

Innocent till proven guilty.. he took out a talaban spotter. Justice for Ben.

High profile nuisance cases are designed to demoralise! Exact same tactic is being applied from Aus to Canada. Attack every part of our cultural identity & Heroes, same time flood our countries with hostile immigrants & Muslims & use our money to support them while we struggle!

Lefty luvie lawyers await your return if you manage to survive your combat theatre. They are chasing veteran's who are 78 years old in our country. Do not go to war and think for one minute you have these spineless western governments at your back!

Carried by 6 or judged by 12..Until you have walked in these shoes be careful what conclusions that you draw. If you know, you know. Evil is allowed to prevail when good men standby and do nothing.. but when good men stand front and centre like this hero we shoud be thankful

21 fellow soldiers all testifying against him says a lot, I don’t care what anybody else says. It’s not one or two disgruntled team members, it is twenty-fucking-one separate people.

He has numerous times laid his life on the line for his country and these oxygen thieves want him locked up

@SnapAus Correct✔️

Unfortunately the handcuffed guy kicked off a cliff and shot didn't get a choice.

Politicians send people to do jobs in terrible conditions that, they can't even comprehend, they can't/won't do themselves and then throw them under the bus...and wonder why recruitment is so low. Typical modern political class...useless

Who up for braking him out of jail and getting it on with the government. Just a thought crime O what do we do when your country puts you down for being a hero. FFS islam talking points The poor terrorist's 😢 shit is crazy

The Taliban’s jihadist narrative reinforced soldiers’ sense that rural communities were ideologically hostile to foreign “invaders.” - the operational reality was one of high risk from civilian-facilitated attacks. Tell us -how do you tell a civilian from a terrorist
