Mark Wales was watching the prisoner swap on the news last week when he noticed Nick Warner, the 70-year-old director general of the Australian Secret Intelligence Service, wearing a leather Kill Kapture jacket as he escorted Dr Moore-Gilbert into a van.

Mark Wales (pictured in the field), from the Pilbara region of Western Australia, created the Kill Kapture brand in New York after retiring from a distinguished SAS career Mr Wales (pictured) created his brand after 16 years in the military. Australia's spy boss wore one of his jackets during a prisoner swap Mr Warner's decision to wear the brand, which closely identifies with special operations forces, could be interpreted as a subtle tribute to Australia's dedicated and law-abiding soldiers who have been shocked by war crimes allegations reported last week. Mr Wales, who spent 16 years in the military including six in special ops, told Daily Mail Australia he was 'proud as anything' when he saw Mr Warner wearing his design. 'I replayed the footage because I was looking at the guy leaning forward in the van and I was thinking the seam of the back of that jacket looks like one of mine,' he said. 'And then when he turned I saw the chevrons on the neck and I thought "oh sh***" that's Nick Warner in my jacket. 'I thought ''that's really cool'' and I was proud as anything to see it in the mix overseas.' Mr Wales revealed that Mr Warner's wife had bought her husband the $1,500 jacket for a birthday present.

The jacket, which features three chevrons on the neck and a tracking system in case it gets lost, is marketed at former troops and other men of action. Australia's special forces have faced scrutiny after a four-year ADF inquiry last week reported evidence of 39 murders of civilians or prisoners by 25 Aussies serving in Afghanistan from 2009 to 2016. The Chief of the Army last week revealed that 13 members face the sack after being handed administrative action notices proposing to terminate their employment.

Mr Wales believes Australia's special forces were overused in Afghanistan and as a result soldiers were ground down and psychologically scarred.

Mr Wales, who is not under investigation, said the allegations of unlawful killings were 'evil' and 'inexcusable' but argued the 'decision-makers that green-lighted this mess of a war, year after year, are just as culpable.' Dr Moore-Gilbert (pictured) was jailed for 10 years in Iran but Australia rescued her He said he feels 'terrible' that his service has been tarnished by the actions of a minority. Dr Moore-Gilbert, an Islamic studies lecturer with British and Australian citizenship, was arrested at Tehran Airport in September 2018. She was charged with espionage and jailed for 10 years after a secret trial. The Australian government rejected her conviction and negotiated her release in exchange for three Iranian terrorists who were jailed in Thailand. When Dr Moore-Gilbert was released after surviving 804 days in Iran's worst prisons, she thanked the Australian government for 'working tirelessly' to secure her freedom. Mr Warner, who was Australia's ambassador to Iran from 1994 to 1997, was said to have played a pivotal role in the negotiations, using his diplomatic contacts. The 70-year-old, who will retire in December, caused a stir in 2017 when he famously posed with Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte while copying the strongman's signature move of a raised fist. It is not suggested that Mr Warner in any way supports or condones the alleged carrying out of war crimes by members of the SASR, only that he may be supportive of the SASR as an institution.
