Australian War Hero Refuses to Apologize for Alleged War Crimes Verdict.

Ben Roberts-Smith, Australia's most decorated war veteran, has said he will not apologise for his actions in Afghanistan, despite being found by a civil court to have played a part in the murder of four Afghans. Roberts-Smith, who served in the Special Air Service on six tours from 2006 to 2012, was dismissed in his defamation case against three newspapers for articles accusing him of violating the rules of engagement and killing unarmed Afghans. The judge ruled that the newspapers had proven substantial truth in their reporting. Roberts-Smith has not been charged with any crimes.
