    Perhaps the Defence Department believes the findings from the Inspector-General’s
    Inquiry into possible breaches of the laws of armed conflict run by Maj-General Paul Brereton
    are close to being released.
    This may have prompted Lt-General Campbell’s edict regards unsuitable symbols, death icons etc.
    If there is (as I suspect) a great deal of bad news waiting to hit the ADF fan the Defence Department
    public relations machine would be able to point out that actions had already been commenced to control the “inculcation of an arrogant hubris”.
