Army whistleblower gets 5 years jail

[Bobby]

What were the secret documents about?
Was the Australian army tying to cover up war crimes by making the documents secret?
So - the only person who has gone to jail after the 39 murders
is the man who reported them - the whistleblower .
Sounds fair?

A whistleblower who helped expose allegations of Australian war crimes in Afghanistan has been sentenced to five years and eight months in jail.

David McBride pleaded guilty to stealing and sharing military secrets on the eve of his trial last year, after legal rulings sunk his defence.

An ex-military lawyer, McBride said he was felt a moral duty to speak up.

A landmark inquiry later found evidence that Australian forces
had unlawfully killed 39 Afghans during the war.
