Australian commanders stripped of Afghan war medals

Up to nine Australian commanders who served in the Afghan war have been stripped of their awards, following a war crimes investigation that Defence Minister Richard Marles has called a "national shame".
The Brereton inquiry found "no credible information" troop, squadron, and task group leaders knew war crimes were being committed. But the report asserted they bore "moral command responsibility and accountability".
