Published: Aug. 7, 2020, 12:50 a.m.

Nick McKenzie's June 2020 cover story follows former special forces medic Dusty Miller and his emotional attempt to reconcile with the Afghan children of a man allegedly stomped to death by another SAS soldier. Nick is then joined in conversation by Good Weekend senior writer Konrad Marshall to discuss what Miller's story tells us about service, PTSD and the human spirit; what the independent war crimes inquiry might find; and how the story was borne out of trust and friendship.
