- Sky News host Chris Kenny says Chief of the Australian Defence Force Angus Campbell is a man who “threw the ADF under the bus”.
“I talked about Angus Campbell,” Mr Kenny said.
“A man who threw the ADF under the bus in my view.
“With those alleged war crimes in Afghanistan, effectively a Taliban leadership there now.
“We have not had one conviction.”
A traitor to this country. Nothing less than that.
Kenny is so right about Angus Campbell I believe he has let all the ADF and all who served down. He is not a leader by any means.
The guest Paul Fletcher gave meaningless comments to keep himself out of hot water. He didn't address the issues at all out of fear of being sued or reprimanded.
Yes he did. He took no responsibility for any command failures. A complete dud. He did tremendous damage to ADF morale.
Has Angus returned those dubiously awarded medals yet?
Service? Over paid to the extent of robbery and a disgrace to the uniform
He was not in a position to be in the ADF as the chief in cammand .didn't back his service men or women under his command . Good he is gone .
The desperation of Campbell to shift blame was palpable.Clung on to his precious gongs like a tick.
Nothing will change until the shit hits the fan.
It will be very hard to redeem from there.
We should be a regional superpower , instead we have spent decades pissing our national treasure up the proverbial wall.
Angus made his position behind a desk and will retire with a huge pension ...
Don’t they all do that ? when they don’t like the question they resign.
Yes. Give that medal back you wear for which you did not fit the criteria for its award.
head of defence , just like the pm doesnt stand up for the people who lokk after the australian people
Is the new guy woke. Does it identify as they?
In the event of an attack on Australia the ADF would maybe last a week. More recently a request for a warship was turned down because none were available. Welcome to the future Chinese colony...
God bless our Australian Defence Force ✝️
AC destroyed the ADF. We’ll be revisiting Conscription.
I can guarantee conscription will not fly, not with the current leadership and politicians - they are not respected and often despised.
Our defence forces are WAY too woke to fight any potential enemy. If, say, Indonesia sent a couple of battalions of their incredibly excellent special forces (trained by Aussies) to land at Darwin, the ADF would first have to do a risk assessment dressed in high viz, then take months to decide whether or not to oppose the landing, so as not to offend Indonesia...
That's the same nearly everywhere now, the whole shows a joke.
Woke isn't really the problem! It's the desperate bogans that are signing up and being accepted by ADF that are much of the problem!
China never has to use force to take Australia..
They already own 15 million hectares, all the goods handling at Australias major airpoorts, Alinta Energy, Darwin and Newcastle Ports, etc, etc.etc.
There all ready here , we would probably last about 4 hours but than f there a long way away . Pack my 4wd an head for the hills
Not with Albanese and Wong to sign everything over
The guy was a coward and a traitor but let's not forget who appointed him, Morrison, who I remember attacked them as well. That's why he was thrown out, one of many reasons
Well Paul is useless needs to be dumped by the opposition 😊
This politician is one of the reasons why the ADF had such awful leadership in Angus Campbell, and I bet he won't give back any of the medals he received, for doing nothing I might add, other than lead it up the garden path to stupid woke ideaology.
I sure hope this new guy has more gumption than the previous slow blow. I did 15 years in the RAAF and am ashamed of the leadership.
Some senior officers will do and say anything to get that top job.
Once a campbell always a campbell , there is a reason they are the most hated clan . Angus is failure to his troops and to Australia.
Listen to this words-smith, why have him on the show for comment when he clearly dribble’s political correctness.
A bumbling bureaucrat by any measure.
Bye Bye Angus Houston
Blahblah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Kenny reminds me of Dudley Doright carries on like he's holyer than thou , just hops on the obvious , don't need Kenny telling us the Patheticness of Campbell and the ADF in General and it's not the little bloke down the bottom the humble grunt it's the Fuckiditys at the Top
Cate McGregor's tribute to the smeared Aussie soldiers "Australia’s troops ‘feel betrayed’ by our leaders and ‘so they should". Pretty heartbreaking. Really lets those of us on the outside see how Aussie military leadership let down the special forces, let down the infantry and prioritised kills over everything.
Angus Campbell, Chief of Defence Force, wanted to punish 3000 Special Operations Task Group personnel who served in Afghanistan between 2007 and 2013, stripping each and every one of them of their meritorious unit citation over unproven, untested allegations of war crimes against some of them. No top brass included.
Campbell always has had that weak asleep at the wheel.demeanour we want alpha males representing us not thie continuous roll out of compluant yes men where wre ourvreal men ????
When in the army reserve i asked a member for a JUMP START, he refused, said it was too dangerous.
Mr Fletcher, you are a representative of the people, yet your first words are, "I'll leave it to others to comment", WHO? What a wet blanket. No wonder you're in opposition , you haven't got a position on anything.
LEST WE FORGET, we ran from Afghanistan with UNCLE SAM, leaving its people to fall from our fleeing aircraft, and to the evils of the Taliban, same happened in Vietnam,,,,,SERGEANT INSTRUCTOR APTC 1970 to 1986 now retired, thank the lord
So..whats happening to that fijian army bloke seconded to ADF??
All Campbell did was look after himself whilst licking the bum rings of politicians, an absolute disgrace.
Campbell's golden handshake should be a one way ticket to Afghanistan. Campbell's service seemed to screw up decent ADF personnel's service.
In a nutshell, the global threat level rests around three intersecting axes (1) RUS (2) PRC and (3) IRN.
A strategy for defence is simple Align - Arm - Build - Engage, Enable, Deter and Defeat.
ALIGN means ensuring key alliances are upheld and where necessary broadened - this is both a government and ADF responsibility.
ARM means acquire the correct means in the correct quantities to meet the threats posed by (1), (2) and (3).
BUILD means build the capabilities required and build the means to logistically supply the arms/equipment and their re-supply and manufacture. Again this a ADF and government responsibility.
ENGAGE means open and honest engagement with Australian citizens to develop critical support or dissent and ensure key industries are aligned and can contribute in resupply, resources, rebuilding and building war of materiel. This is a tripartite relationship between Government/ADF and the citizens they act for.
ENABLE this means ensuring the relationships are made/built and the long term capital plan is in place to ensure the strategy can be developed, it also means enabling the citizenry who are far more capable in building, defending, maintaining and running critical infrastructure than government/police/ADF.
DETER means exactly that ensure, the posture, positioning and facing are in place to act as a meaningful deterrent.
DEFEAT means a willingness at government level to counter threats and defeat them in a proactive manner.
Successive Australian Governments and ADF leadership cadres have failed to fully and clearly enunciate the threats (which haven't changed over thirty years or so) and as function of this they have failed to adequately ALIGN - ARM - BUILD and ENGAGE.
I can not stress this enough, this is a very significant and profound failure of leadership and government.
I couldn't imagine this bloke fighting in the trenches. Even he was, you wouldn't want to have him watching your back.
Let us move on. It is what happens in the future that counts.
Appointed by Abbott so what do you think he'd be like. Another liberal clanger
I don't think adf use busses, they do at basic training and in exercise like flood relief but I'm pretty sure they mostly use their own vehicles.
And to think that Campbell was a SASman!
Hahahahahahaha...good one.
I seriously doubt that to be honest, just like the royals just wears unearned medals
There's NO WAY in hell an SAS MAN would do what that coward did.
I was in the SAS Regt for over 20 years, including a tour of SVN with 2 Sqn SASR.
He removed 2 Sqn fm order of battle, so much for my service.
Tried to remove medals from serving members but wanted to keep his own
I don’t know a single person serving past or present that have anything good to say about him
He’s been a total disgrace to his position as CDF.
He would be filthy he wasn’t offered to be next GG
Good riddance to a garbage officer, a Woke tosser, look at the damage that has done to our defence force, it’s now a laughing stock, no offence to serving members, non of them can stand him - Trust me.
Campbell made many wrong choices and had been in the job to long with twenty years of the war on terror and other conflicts that took their toll. Unfortunately many biases and blame games still exist in the ADF....
It's the navies turn.

Angus Campbell who!!!, ohhhh that bloke, wasn't he the worst Australian Army General in history. Glad his gone 😂😂😂😂
I'm glad I chose not Jun after all it not owe country
Grub
Campbell did not want to strip 3,000 medals of Australian soldiers. He wanted to withdraw unit meritorious service citations. Any professional soldier reading the Brereton Report could discount all the claims of criminal behaviour and just consider the breeches of military discipline and basic professional standards and have concluded the removal of these citations was warranted.
Did you do background on the complainant. His father was a doctor convicted of medical research fraud.
If you believe that then he should lead by example and hand his DSC back. His tenure in TF633, 2011 was hardly 'Distinguished'. If the guys are to be charged then he needs to be tried under the omission mode of the Yamashita Standard in the ICC - we are, after all a signatory to the Rome Statute. We note his mate Paul preempts this however by suggesting he was too far away to know what was going on. But... that is precisely the Yamashita principle - He ought to have been closer and known. Had he been closer then not only could he have influenced his subordinates' moral compasses, but perhaps even justify his DSC. The citation of which reads, "...in action." (not a lot of 'action' in HQ Al Minah, Abu Dhabi was there?). The double standard between senior officers and soldiers stinks.
@@highcountrydelatite It is a well established precedent related to command responsibility And while the US is not signatory to the Rome Statute, they established it.
You always miss the point. If crimes were committed or there were systemic failures in regard to discipline - this reflects a poor leadership cadre, poor training and poor ethos. The strategic failures of the ADF over the last 20 years have been many and are profound. The consequences of their collective malfeasance are significant. The Australian Command and Staff course is utter garbage, third rate, out dated and out moded. This builds on the back of the third rate and myopic training offered by Duntroon/ADFA. The lack of insight and self awareness of the ADF and its leadership is appalling.
@@Klemheist-vf1hx Bang on, exactly right.
This Sky obsession with “WOKE “ is ridiculous. Good to see the Coalition spokesperson didn’t buy into that Sky abuse.
We should acknowledge the severe underspending of the coalition on defence when they were in government.
@@highcountrydelatite really?
@@richx9035yes really!
@@richx9035 Yes Really !
@@chrish4681 the facts suggest otherwise
Bye-bye Agnes
You are the commander if it did happen you gave the order
Kenny... a real authority. I haven't worked out what it is yet. Love how your keepers take a parting shot at the bloke as he goes out the door. Keeping it real at sky jews Australia.
Nice. An antisemitic piece of shit
