And a lot of people might assume that because of that, you could be one of those people who think, leave our war heroes alone.

But that's not the case with you.

So how do you see it?

So the journalist Nick McKenzie, who broke or helped break this story a few years ago, he says it's not just the media or Afghan nationals who've made these claims against Ben Robert Smith, but that it's actually his own squadron mates.

They've also spoken out against him.

How rare is that and significant?

And how much weight will their evidence actually have once it gets to that stage in court?

So, Glenn, we know there's been a lot of outrage about this case, but how would you say people in that community are actually feeling?

What are veterans saying to you, for example?

Coming up, the prosecution's challenge to bring this case to court.

Glenn, let's talk about the charges, the road ahead for the prosecution and for Ben Roberts-Smith.

Because as a lawyer, you're across all of this.

So what will the prosecution have to overcome if it's to get a conviction?

Regardless of that, though, it seems that the federal police must think they'd been up to something or wouldn't have brought forward these charges.

And what about this issue of trying to get a fair trial, especially after Ben Roberts Smith already lost his defamation case against nine newspapers?

So how could his team argue or try to use that to avoid going to a criminal trial?

So, Glenn, that's what the defence might do or could do, but what about the prosecution?

What have they got going in their favour and how will they try and build their case?

Glenn, what do you think the chances are of this actually going to trial, actually getting that far?

Or could the whole legal process just drag out?
