Ben Roberts-Smith is entitled to clear his name if the newspapers accusations are untrue. He did six tours, and the ADF even decorated him. The issue I have with Smith is this man is being called a hero. Can someone please help me understand what is so heroic about someone choosing to do 6 tours to basically destroy a country on the other side of the world in a conflict we here tried justifying our decision to go to war through western eyes. We invaded thinking we were culturally superior and we believed once they experience our western culture they will lay down their weapons and submit to our way of life. But in reality we were invaders of their land and way of life.We had superior firepower, military intelligence, heaps of arrogance and ignorance. Ben Roberts-Smith went because he wanted to go.He was paid very well, and he must have had a real good time if he went back 5 more times. He is no hero.
