The question of medals seems of fairly low importance and dubious priority given we're talking about human lives here, but I do share her suspicion that people higher up knew more than they're letting on.

yeah thats the nit i meant, these guys dont go to war for medals, its not the Olympics. whether or not you agree with the always follow orders mandate, someone gave that order. as usual they are hiding from it

It s not as simple as Lambie makes out with respect to the awards.

The findings of the Brereton inquiry recommended to strip the soldiers and the government said they would follow the recommendations of the enquiry. The General Angus Campbell the head of the ADF merely reflected this and took the recommendations and the governments position at face value. How was he to know that the slimey little turd 'Scotty from opportunistic marketing' would undermine him and throw him under a tank?
