Whistleblower says chain of command failed to stop extrajudicial shootings, including of children, after alarm was raised
The former director of UK special forces and other senior military officers tried to cover up concerns that SAS units were carrying out unlawful killings in Afghanistan, an inquiry has heard.
A senior special forces whistleblower said the chain of command failed to stop extrajudicial shootings, including of two small children, after the alarm was first raised in early 2011. That failure allegedly allowed them to continue until 2013. Continue reading...

A reminder that London is far safer than many major cities, that crime is falling and that racists hate both these truths because they undermine their vicious little divisive narrative.

In New York - population 8.5 million - there were

London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.

This is a really useful summary of what is going on with regard to accusations against some members of the Special Forces in Afghanistan. But (and I really hesitate to say that to Mark, who is a way way better analyst and writer than I will ever be), I think that there is something missing.

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.
