    I'd suggest that the primary job of the DEFENCE force is to DEFEND and prevent the necessity for the application of lethal force.

    Hastie's comments suggests a cowboy attitude that encourages violence and seems to defend the actions under investigation by the war crimes inquiry.

    Sure, if it comes to the point that lethal force is unavoidable, then the armed forces have to do what they have to do and no more, but their main job is to protect and defend civilians, their rights and assets without violence if possible.

    Hastie seems a bit too gung ho for my liking.
