Another Liberal Party gutless, and deceitful decision to not apologise to the Afghan S.A.S.Veterans, who they decided were guilty before the trial, that aquitted them of the so called crimes. This only adds to the disgraceful lengthening list of atrocious treatment doled out to our troops sent by Pollies to appease others, and then abandoned to a life on the streets for their service in Korea, Malaya, Borneo, Vietnam, Timor, Iraq, Afghanistan. Lest We Forget.

Indeed Ron. Disgraceful in the true meaning of the word. As a conservative, the National Party lost me with the Greyhound ban, and the Liberals have lost me because they are just lefties in a blue t-shirt. All feathers of the same PC woke bird. I hope to see a record number of independents voted in next election. It's not possible for this nation to go backwards anymore

The trouble with independents is they cannot form a Government...having the balance of power is their best option, so no more that 6 or so that can agree with each other on the right decisions.

Yes Ray but imagine the message it would send to the big 2. They would have to form a minority gov by pandering to the independents. It would be 3 years of debacle. I'm sure both parties would have to have a rethink.

Politicians should do themselves a huge favour, and remember. Facts that are made up of many little things Can make a much bigger difference!

Jamie, We, because we are the allies of this useless warmongering abomination called a world power, sit in the cheap seats of the most ridiculed circus ever to perform on the world stage. What army would leave 85 Billion dollars worth of equipment to the enemy! The Taliban are now a might to be reckoned with. Can you imagine how the many allied armies, who gave their many lives to this mess feel. The families must be devastated!

Yes Ron, and at the same time the ABC are sinking the boots in to our elite troops. Bloody disgrace!

In World War 2, at least the yanks dumped all their gear into the sea, don't tell me that they thought that the Afghans could defend their Country, so left everything! We went in there because they couldn't do it, what's more they have never been able to.

The modern army from the West couldn't dump their stuff into the ocean Ray. Too concerned about what the climate catastrophe morons would think about that.

So much for the strategy of war, to leave your enemy the very arms to which you have tied your strength! The Taliban, are now armed better than most modern allied nations. The United States have left the western world to their ransom, overseen by warsome technology not previously known. The lunatics are now running the asylum!

I doubt they would have left the instructions. Can imagine the Taliban on the internet how to fly a helicopter.

Sorry Jack, The Caliph is made up of all Arabic nations not allied to the west, which includes Iran, and Syria who have the expertise to teach them. Syria is backed by Russia, and Iran both armed by China and Russia Whatever Afghani pilots who were trained by the U.S.A. will pass on their expertise also. Whatever covert secrets of modern weaponry left behind, will soon be sorted out by both China and Russia, who I might add, when the news of the weapon debacle broke, were the first nations to openly recognise the Taliban Regime. Unfortunately it's back to the drawing board for America, and her allies, as the cold war just dropped another ten degrees!

The "Coalition of the Willing" is caused by those countries who are members of the "American Billing" system I'm afraid Tezza.

Now comes the most galling fallout of the whole Afghanistan war. With gutless American policy granting transfer of Australian Army murderer Hekmatullah back to the Taliban. Talk about allied unity, as he now sits somewhere free of all guilt, while our own government, would detain and crucify their own, for acts of murder in this same war without a trial!

Unfortunately Larry your right, they certainly know how to build "confidence" into the ADF!
