As former soldiers, we cannot and should not standby without trying to assist where we can. Helping a bloke when he is down and giving him a fair go and the tools (funds) to survive is what we believe in and the Australian way. It’s not up to us to judge him for that is not our role. What I am saying is that, not to help a bloke when he is down is not the Australian way. We as Australians are known throughout the world as tough, highly trained, tenacious fighters, good in a scrap and above all we never let our mates down. We don't give up easily, the world knows that. It is a legacy that lives on in every Australian, whether he or she served in the Defence Force or not. We as Australians are proud of abilities to overcome adversities in face of all opposition. In the case of Langdon, he has been given a trial under the laws of the country in which the offence has been committed and from all the media reports provided with support. However, the cultural aspect must be taken into account where a condemned person can make restitution via financial means. We must respect the laws and customs of the country and make every effort to support Langdon where possible. Peter Adamis. Watsonia Melbourne Australia

Different countries have different laws and "morals" some barbaric to the extent that it is beyond our comprehension.I hope & Pray that Robert Langdon be spared.

Strongly recommend the family engage the services of an experienced lawyer to assist them in their dealings with the Australian Government. These situations are best handled with diplomacy and earnest negotiation to secure best outcomes, rather than a tabloid approach which will do nothing to improve the detainees situation.
I work in Afghanistan and have many contacts that I am happy to put the family's lawyer in touch with. I would recommend they contact Stephen Kenny, Lawyer whom I've worked on numerous cases in the middle east successfully. http://www.camattalempens.com.au/stephen_kenny.html
