The Telegraph: Serving SAS officers have said some soldiers are less willing to volunteer for missions involving lethal force because of fears of prosecution for war crimes.

The Telegraph: Serving SAS officers have said some soldiers are less willing to volunteer for missions involving lethal force because of fears of prosecution for war crimes.

The concerns stem from the Haddon-Cave inquiry into allegations that SAS members unlawfully killed 80 or more unarmed Afghans between 2010 and 2013.

One of the serving officials described the feeling of being "tested regularly and constantly, without rejection", and added that the field of law was a factor in why the staff members chose not to extend their service.
