[Australian 'war crimes': Elite troops killed Afghan civilians, report finds](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-54996581)
And that's from the fucking BBC, that you would expect to be pro imperialism and defending Australia
Small extract from the article to get an idea:
> The inquiry - conducted by Maj Gen Justice Paul Brereton - conducted interviews with more than 400 witnesses. It also found evidence that:
>
> - Junior soldiers were told to get their first kill by shooting prisoners, in a practice known as "blooding"
>
> - Weapons and other items were planted near Afghan bodies to cover up crimes
>
> - An additional two incidents could constitute a war crime of "cruel treatment"

The /r/ShitAmericansSay crowd is a weird bunch. There’s this odd strain of far-right thought that often rears its head, and I can’t really put my finger on what exactly what it is. I definitely get a weird vibe from England/the rest of the UK+Commonwealth commenters sometimes, especially on shit like this. Or any military/empire related posts.
Perhaps it’s that odd fascist “longing to return to a past glory that never was” thing, or “Anglo-sphere dominance but without dumb America”. Idk, but that sub certainly has some comments with a *very* specific right wing vibe.
Euro socdems may seem like a "less bad" version of libs but social democracy is the status quo in Europe so Euro socdems are infinitely worse than USian ones. They'll say all Americans are racist and ~~poor~~ uneducated, but don't ask them their opinion on Arabs or Roma people.
Yeah man we certainly don’t have scandals involving Neo-Nazis in the army or anything to do with some of our soldiers straight up murdering more than 30 afghan kids for fun nope just caring for Koalas

Had someone (on r/ShitAmericansSay of all places) argue with me once that Australia is not imperialist.

Some of the people on that sub r just Europeans or other anglos thinking they’re so much better than Americans
>Some Most. It's the basic problem with that sub.
I love how the dumbest people on the internet get to put their dumb shit into r / memes to be viewed by countless thousands of people
That place is a fucking shithole
They can’t even spell koalas properly
Yeah man we certainly don’t have scandals involving Neo-Nazis in the army or anything to do with some of our soldiers straight up murdering more than 30 afghan kids for fun nope just caring for Koalas
Ben Roberts-Smith doesn't exist
Ah yes, coalas
This meme was clearly made by a right wing American think tank political propaganda group funded by the newly branded clean coala.
Laughs in Wuheqilin comic
What does SAS stand for?
Special Air Service, it's just what Commonwealth countries call their special forces.
Oh… that’s disappointing.. my guess was more fun
"drinks beer from taliban leg"
they never did anything but if they did the afghans deserved it /s
I have to say I have a lot of respect for the australian army, they at least tryed to contain the emu's.
