Stand up for US-allied warriors against political lawfare from their own governments

Australian authorities this month arrested Ben Roberts-Smith, the most decorated soldier in his country’s history.

They accused him of war crimes tied to special operations he conducted in Afghanistan 15 or more years ago — charges he has repeatedly, consistently denied.

Together, these cases reveal a pattern that’s spreading through the special operations forces of America’s closest allies.

It’s hollowing out the very units that fought beside ours for more than two decades — and Washington has been far too quiet about it.
