And then I was taken on a journey where I was shown footage of me jumping off a helicopter

and firing a warning shot at an insurgent that was running away and then sending my

partner force forward to capture them and questioned if I was allowed to fire warning

shots because under Australian law we're not, under US engagement they are.

We developed an understanding that if you shot near someone they would usually stop

and you could capture them as opposed to I was literally authorised to kill that person.

to authorise my guys to fire warning shots had opened every single one of them up to

being prosecuted.

That broke me because at this time the Bretton Report had been going on and we literally had

some soldiers go into the Bretton Report and then take their own lives afterwards.

It was causing massive issues.
