well I don't share your enthusiasm David for any of the military hype you are glorifying

perhaps it is because I HAD direction in my life and put myself through engineering, but was FORCED by Menzies, even without being able to VOTE for or against his Yellow Peril Congoline, to endure 10 weeks of Basic Training Hell in Wagga in 1967

and I was one of the 80% of Nashos that was not ALLOWED to go to Vietnam to get our Housing Loan

and because I was only conscripted for "political purposes", I am not officially a "Veteran", so don't get my pension at 60, like David and like those of the Greer gender.

and after I tried to march back in 1969 I was told by RSL I couldn't and people spat on us calling us baby killers [surely you remember that David]

Howard wanted to clear his conscience by giving me a tin medal so I told him to shove it

even did a video to show what a lovely time I had

Hi DD... clearly you have a bit of an axe to grind... understandably.

My solution might seem a bit trite, but its the only one I know which 'works'.....

Don't have any faith or confidence in "this world and its managers"

I gave up on that long ago. There is no party or person who is not vulnerable to all the things you mentioned in your vids (I checked out a couple)

Please be careful about a condition I learned about from Pericles "Monomania" (look it up).. I sense you have crossed the line from 'passion' to monomania, and it could impact your health.

If you are looking for "justice" and fairness from Governments, mate.. 4get it. Turn your life over to Christ, and enjoy loving fellowship with the saints at some local Church :)

I managed to get a war service loan but only served 7.5 yrs, and was in Vietnam for only 5 hours.
They changed the legislation in the 70s I think and made it retrospective, such that we could get that loan.
I got $25k at pretty good rates. I have no pension now.. that applies only after 20 yrs continuous service.

Check this bloke out.. he might give you a diversion :)

"Check this bloke out.. he might give you a diversion :)"

exactly as I pictured you davo

did you say somewhere you are a blood sucking lawyer?

Hi DD..no, I'm not like that bloke, nor am I a bloodsucking lawyer.

cheers mate.
