The Chief of the Defence Force needs to be sacked, page-9

This is appalling

General Campbell NO! ......more like General Melchett.

While the I appreciate the sentiment on HC I would urge you al to write to the PM, Reynolds, your local and member and the DoD Attn Cheif of
Defence Force.

So I am clear I am not condoning any form of behaviour that sees unarmed and contained combatants and non combatants hurt or killed. If proved and taking into account all factors then there should be an appropriate punishment after an appropriate process - not trial by media. You have the right to face your accusers. The first unwritten instinctual rule of any commander is to have the backs of those who serve under you. Quite clearly Angus Campbell has forgotten that and has become a political hack. Shameful.

The long term consequences for the morale of our troops will mean a loss of effectiveness as a fighting force. Furthermore, to suggest that this has been going on "Magnum Force" style without anyone in the chain ever knowing is complete nonsense.

These guys and the unit deserve due process and a lot better treatment.
