The involvement of Australia in the Afghanistan War could not be criticised, as the inspirational call to arms reverberated around the globe after the ‘Twin Towers attack on 9-11. Osama bin Laden ignited a scourge of terrorists’ attacks, coming from Afghanistan. The sacrifice of valiant Australian soldiers to this cause was immensely valuable, noble and bold. Some died, some developed PTSD, some quietly suffer today. Most wear a strong smile and preoccupy themselves with the safe streets and terror-free world that they earned. It is an unmitigated outrage that the Brereton Report placed enormous value on enemy testimony and that the Office of Special Investigator still hasn’t enough evidence of guilt, so continues to spy on our valiant troops, who should be regaled, not vilified. Ironically, if a young soldier operated as a spy (like the OSI) in Afghanistan, his top secret missions and assassination list would never be called to account. It’s time to stop this immoral travesty. Alan Sexton North Parramatta 22Jan2022.
