What set me off was Bodies comment about "civvies" which displayed obvious contempt for anyone who is not RAAF. He should apologise.
What? Apologise for what? I think you're a bit of a d!ckhead, actually, a ****wit.
It's a RAAF base mate, they can do what they damn please with it, not your call mate. (I'm not ex-RAAF, current RAAF or any of the other services). I also believe it's a fair trade for the 'taxpayer' to fund their flight training in the expectation that these lads/ladettes get to fly in a war zone to defend your pitiful existence. Truth be told, it's probably weighted in the taxpayers favour given they're putting their lives on the line for the privilege of the cost of flight training.
Have some respect for the people that serve you arseclown.
