War crimes scandal rocks Australian military and corporate world.

Ben Roberts-Smith, Australia's most decorated living war veteran, has resigned from his corporate job after a civil court found him responsible for unlawfully killing four Afghans, escalating calls for him to be stripped of his Victoria Cross medal. Roberts-Smith had taken leave since 2021 to focus on his federal court case, which he lost on Thursday, with the judge finding that he was responsible for four of the six unlawful deaths he had been accused of. Roberts-Smith remains under Australian police investigation for criminal prosecution for war crimes, and his SAS colleagues are among those calling for him to be stripped of his honors.
