Malcolm Turnbull slams Russian 'contradictions' while admitting Australian bombs in Syria

Yep I have served with American marines and briefly army and I know exactly what they are and I can vouch first hand that over 90% of routine work in country for the last few years has prevented NATO forces targeting Taliban or associate insurgencies without provocation. Wavers are given for specific raids but only the 2CDO boys carried that kind of work out. This led to cruising around and waiting for them to attack. Cases where men on bicycles with AKs on their backs circling around NATO troops in Kandahar have been documented. They get off the bikes, fire a few rounds, ditch the firearms and run away.

I question who the fuck you worked with because if you're implying American serviceman don't care about civilians you're a dick.

If you think NATO forces had authority to wipe out civilians indiscriminately you're misinformed. The one case I know of was a gunship killing several men who were heading to a wedding. The footage is on YouTube. Heads rolled after that and it certainly wasn't a case of "oh well!"
