Michelle Grattan writes when she was in Afghanistan in 2002, and Australia had 150 special forces there, there was chatter among the international media that the Australians were fast & loose.

And allegations of brutality by Australian special forces in East Timor in late 1990s

"it should always be remembered that the military can be as fallible as any other group in society, and a small minority of individuals as reprehensible as other criminals, and to assume otherwise is to be blind in the name of false patriotism" https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-20/afghanistan-war-crimes-brereton-report/12901328

That's what Grattan wrote.
My opinion, beware the overly patriotic. Don't put any person or group on a pedestal.

Just don't.

And be very wary of Morrison's attitude to the military. Something unhealthy and off-key there

And the paternalistic nonsense from Morrison last week that Australians need to prepare themselves for a shock - maybe he's the one who's naive & uninformed. The signs have been there, just read some history.

Important there's transparency & accountability which Morrison hates
