By Nick McKenzie, Anthony Galloway and Chris Masters<\/strong><\/p>\n Australian special forces soldiers allegedly committed 39 murders in Afghanistan, and 19 current or former soldiers will face possible prosecution and the stripping of their medals after the findings of an exhaustive defense inquiry exposed a culture of cover-ups and deceit.<\/p>\n The Special Air Service Regiment’s second squadron will be disbanded following the damning findings of a “warrior-hero” culture that contributed to criminal conduct, including unlawful killings.<\/p>\n Compensation will be paid to Afghan families whose loved ones were most likely murdered by special forces soldiers. Most of these alleged murders involved prisoners who had been captured or subdued. Some were allegedly handcuffed and then shot dead.<\/p>\n The majority of the blame has been laid on non-commissioned officers of the SAS who allegedly demanded junior soldiers “blood” themselves by shooting unarmed prisoners, and then planted weapons to cover up these crimes, while falsifying reports about what happened.<\/p>\n The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald have previously reported that one of the key focuses of the inquiry was war hero and Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith. The Federal Court heard recently that then Chief of Defence Force, Mark Binskin, referred the former SAS soldier to the police in 2018 and that the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions is now considering whether to charge him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Starting to sound familiar?
