I’m sorry Jumpseat, I appreciate that this thread has gone a bit off the mark but I cannot sit hear and stand these sort of comments from Max Headroom without a reply.
Dear Max Headroom,
You have really done a disservice to your fellow countrymen. My Brother served in the Australian Army in a place called Nui Dat in the Vietnam War. He lost a lot of mates there. There were over 500 Australians killed in that war and I’m sure the families of those lost would not appreciate your viewpoint.
I have personally served with the Australian Defence Force in a combat role. Your description of the attitude of Australians with regard to fighting for what they believe in is way off the mark. Gladly your attitude is not typical. The United States is a great Allie of Australia. I have served with many Americans and hold them in high regard. None of them have displayed your ignorance.
