      So it’s either A:

      • David McBride is an idiot who misinterpreted what was happening as a defence lawyer investigating war crimes
      • War crimes happened
      • Commanders and Politicians aren’t smart enough to cover up war crimes committed by PR exercises like Ben Roberts-Smith by investigating otherwise innocent soldiers

      Or B:

      • David McBride is not an idiot
      • War crimes happened
      • Commanders and Politicians are smart enough to attempt to cover up war crimes committed by the likes of Ben Roberts-Smith (Australia’s most decorated soldier, was used to ‘sell’ the war to Australians).

      I choose B, but hey, you know better because of some random BBC article and an ABC hit piece
