The recent legal setback for David McBride, an Australian former army lawyer who leaked classified documents alleging war crimes by Australian forces in Afghanistan. McBride lost his appeal to reduce his prison sentence for these actions, with the court rejecting his argument that his oath to the Queen mandated acting in the "public interest" by exposing the alleged crimes. The source highlights the controversy surrounding McBride's imprisonment as he is the only individual incarcerated regarding the Afghanistan war crime allegations, while other military personnel facing serious accusations have yet to stand trial or have had their cases dismissed.
