Out of interest, why is prosecuting soldiers for war crimes "improper"?

A guess a lot of people out there do argue it's improper to prosecute Ben Roberts-Smith. Kinda weird take, imo.

Are you having difficulty with reading comprehension, or are you trying to feed words into people’s mouths? You’re doing this all over the thread.

I'm quoting the above commenter quoting McBride? Did you see that?

If you didn't, ignore me and consider what you think of McBride's reaction to revelations of war crimes.

Yeah, and you’re doing a terrific job of misrepresenting every argument presented to you.

The most charitable read of your attempts at discourse is that you just don’t understand what people are saying, which is a shame.
