I suppose the military is like insurance, a waste of money, that is until you really need it.
Getting rid of this asset is as smart as getting rid of the A4's from the RAN, the then defence minister Gordon Scholes said " that it was highly unlikely for Australian service men to need to project it's forces halfway around the world,"
I feel sorry not only for the Australian people but also for all those dedicated and highly skilled folks at Amberley.
You make us proud.
