There is a slight difference in being at the grand final and kicking six goals as opposed to sitting on the reserve bench watching someone else play.
Get the idea?
Mate my thoughts of you are probably about the same as my thoughts on WeekendWorrier. It is obvious you have little understanding of the roles that our crews performed on Op Falconer, and thats probably because little has been put out in the public domain regarding this. But rest assured, they offered plenty of bang for their buck, especially considering the relatively small deployment. They weren't as you put it 'sitting on the reserve bench waiting for someone else to play'.
