The British SAS left witnesses to British war crimes, hopes the Taliban will solve their little problem

[IronWing]

So the SAS committed war crimes in Afghanistan (no surprise). The problem is that there were Afghan commandos who witnessed the SAS committing war crimes. The Afghan commandos worked alongside the SAS and are entitled to asylum in Britain. The SAS blocked all asylum requests from the the Afghan commandos that worked for the British because they apparently want the Taliban to kill any witnesses to British war crimes.

Special Forces blocked 2,000 credible asylum claims from Afghan commandos, MoD confirms

Officers appear to have rejected every application from former Afghan commandos who fought alongside them.

That's so fucked up

With stories like these (and others), it seems like a lot of special forces are filled with psychopaths and we should really retire the myth of "the operator".

Canada had to disband a SF in the 90's due to some fucked up reasons. It seems that people put in such roles are going to be very different from the typical civilian. We don't have a constant diet of kill or be killed.
