The ABC needs to be privatized, let the lefties pay for this garbage. WE all know how they left likes to use their own money.
What is not said in all this crap re the troops is that its military doctrine that troops get rotated out on a regular basis as being in combat too long desensitizes them their sense of right and wrong is eroded. This is especially so for special operation types given the stress they operate under. But the Generals at the urging of the politicians did not do this and that is why they blame is being pointed to the boots on the ground whilst the wanker gnerals and politicians wined and dined themselves in Canberra.
The public service never pays for what they do, NEVER. It needs to change, they Generals and Politicians and the defense department are just as guilty. The ABC is how they shift the blame to where they do not want it. Look over there, not here.
