Still doesn't change the fact there are *not* 500 Australian troops, and that they are *not* an occupying force.
The other issues raised in the link are abhorrent and sad if true. It is also unfortunate that similar accusations have been made against many UN missions around the globe.
And none of this changes the fact that I wish we weren't there in any way shape or form; didn't need to be.
