In a year when the RAAF and wider ADF has been stretched to capacity with civil assistance I find your comments highly offensive and generalised.
Many hours were devoted to bushfire support at the beginning of the year, with leave cancelled for a lot of members in order to recall them (and absolutely no grumbling, people were scrambling to help.) Right now there are personnel (technicians, pilots, logistics officers - people from all ranks and musterings) assigned to covid tasking at hotels all throughout Australia as an ongoing task,with leave again cancelled for a lot of members over Christmas. Furthermore additional personnel placed on standby for bushfire assistance again this year.
Despise the people who pay for us? Most people join because they want to serve the community.
