Dick Smith Comment
Mr Smith is entitled to his opinions, however if he were to follow through on his threat to conduct the campaign below,
"My next plan is to publicly warn young Australians in a major campaign not to join an organisation which is so disfunctional and so lacks leadership that it can't copy the best from around the world.. Even after 30 years",
one must question his claimed patriotism. Mr Smith is a self made wealthy man with the resources to conduct such a campaign.
As a former member of the RAAF I take exception to the comments of Mr Smith in relationship to the leadership of the RAAF and I might remind Mr smith that all aspects of life has it's share of incompetent "leaders". That does not mean that the whole organisation can fairly be labelled as such.
Certainly make a case for change if you must Mr Smith, but remember that one day it might be your backside the RAAF is out there looking for and, if possible, saving.
