25:01Now PlayingAustralia and the United Kingdom have both investigated their elite fighting force, the Special Air Service (SAS) for war crimes in Afghanistan.
The Brereton Report and Operation Northmoor, respectively, found substantial evidence of war crimes; a warrior culture and gang-like initiation rituals known as blooding, resulting in dozens of dead Afghan civilians. Yet no one has been prosecuted. Richard Medhurst interviews David McBride, who faces jail time for leaking evidence of war crimes to ABC. He also served as a former lawyer and major in the Australian Defence Force.
