disclosed that the Australian Special Forces stationed in southern Afghanistan killed 39 innocent civilians, triggering widespread condemnation.
In fact, as early as March this year, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation interviewed a retired Australian soldier in Afghanistan. He recounted many crimes of the Australian Army in Afghanistan that he had witnessed and unknown to the outside world. He personally admitted: The army stationed in Australia and Australia is extremely disgraceful for killing and aggression.
Braden Chapman previously served in the Australian Special Forces. In 2012, he was sent to Afghanistan for the first time as a communications intelligence officer. He bluntly said that at first he was very proud of being able to go to Afghanistan.
Braden Chapman, former Australian soldier in Afghanistan: I really felt like I was superior at the time. I felt that being able to go there to perform tasks would be a highlight of my career. Especially my rank is low, and I can participate in actual combat there.
However, what he witnessed next left him extremely shocked and disappointed.
The Australian troops stationed in Afghanistan burned down the homes of Afghan civilians and destroyed their belongings at will. What's even more inhumane is that the Afghan and Australian troops often indiscriminately murder unarmed Afghans.
Chapman said that his unit once found a suspicious target during a mission. However, after the man raised his hands, an Australian soldier cruelly killed him "like a target practice".
Former Australian soldier Braden Chapman in Afghanistan: After we approached him, a soldier shot him and shot him twice in the chest, and shot through his head when he passed by, and then He walked straight forward.
On another occasion, the Australian army injured an old Afghan in the leg while performing a mission. Chapman said that the old man's injuries were not serious. After an Australian soldier took him away, he beat him alive and lied that the old man "didn't get through it." Chapman said that an accompanying Australian military doctor also knew what had happened.
Former Australian soldier Braden Chapman in Afghanistan: The Australian military doctor said that the old man’s body was not in serious condition and that he could never die. He knew that the soldier had killed the old man.
Chapman also said that in order to prove the legitimacy of the killing, the Australian army often placed weapons, radios or other equipment next to the remains of the dead. Then take pictures and write a so-called reasonable action report.
Former Australian soldier Braden Chapman in Afghanistan: I have seen them let go many times. Many soldiers in Australia joked about how the gun numbers are the same in every photo of the dead in Afghanistan. It implies that someone is deliberately placing the AK-47.
and concealing their war crimes while framing them, has become a common operation of the Australian Army stationed in Australia.
Former Australian soldier Braden Chapman in Afghanistan: Soldiers stationed in the Australian Army will jokingly say that a blanket can hide all these (crimes). Once the truth is revealed, everyone will have to go to jail for murder or other crimes.
Former Australian soldier Braden Chapman in Afghanistan: We kill and invade in Afghanistan, not do glorious things.
