SAS war crimes allegations not passed to police over morale concerns

What happened: An inquiry revealed that allegations of extra-judicial killings by SAS troops were not referred to military police for years due to fears it would harm troop morale.

Why it matters:

  • Delays in investigation may have affected justice for alleged victims.
  • Raises questions about accountability and transparency within the military.

MNN Take: The decision to withhold allegations from police highlights the tension between maintaining military morale and ensuring proper legal oversight.
