WTF would Gina Rineheart know about war...
WTF does anybody who has not SERVED know about war. Are you one Ian G ?. From my observations over the years most you are of the opinion that we who served were on a Gov financed junket with perks. Then you came out . Well you knew more than guy interviewing you. About one in ten appreciated you . At times I wondered why I SERVED.
I've told you before I've had feedback from my brother in law who served for 18 years.
Hearsay evidence dos not stand up on this subject. I suppose he is a scumwood supporter .
So did my brother & many of my mates, I was lucky my birthday didn't get picked, it was in just about every other year. So many of those that went to Vietnam came back with big issues. My brother was one of them, it took decades for him to get himself sorted. Sadly many didn't.
The reception they got from the anti war protesters, many of the public, the Federal Government, etc etc was imo unforgivable.
I dips my lid to you Old Son. Respect.
Thank you. You nailed it but as a regular one handled Vietnam service as one should but the real battle was back in Australia. That was that stuck in our craw the most. It was not until our own organized Coming Home March Sydney 1987 that we showed what we were made of. You should have heard the murmur in the ranks as when we came to the saluting dais with Comrade Hawke taking the Salute. Anyway we quickly forgot that as we hit the pubs ,messes big time.

Cast your mind back to Vietnam War days as there were no mobile phones laptops et etc. Now for my wife living in Power Road Doveton Victoria to send snail mail to me in Vietnam dearest took her letters to a house three doors up the road where a sailor lived & was based at HMAS Cerberus Westernport B.ay. He delivered the letters to Mail Office Cerberus who then dispatched the letters to Department Of Defence Canberra who then passed them onto Foreign Affairs. They were then dispatched in Diplomatic mail bags to the Australian Embassy of which country was our next port of call who then transported it to our ship when we berthed for R&R. Vice fversa applied to my mail back to Australia except with no addresser on the back of envelope mail was put in normal mail at Canberra GPO. Now this was brought about because the "smile " heroic Postal Employees Union black banned our mail. Labor Party TLC endorsed their action. They did not give a rats about the sailors wife mum & dad sibs etc etc but they wanted their Vote. Did not get mine .

Plenty.
She has been waging a war on the environment for a long time.
And she had a good war against her family a while ago.
I thought we had implemented a non-desirables policy at the club since the Jake King days. Glad to see this *smile* wasn't a club guest.
