@btownsurf

we dont have the forces you yanks do, nor do we have some of the tech and all that, but we've always answered when an ally calls.

I was in the US Marine Corps, born after Vietnam so have no idea what that war was like. I do know that this is the honest and forthright song you will ever hear about it. Australian diggers who fought in that war deserve respect, but after spending time in Iraq I know how hard it is to readapt to civilian life. But I have no respect for any veteran that wallows in self pity and expects the world to feel sorry for him everyday.

I remember when this song first came out & the impact it had. This song is nearly 30 years old. But yet wars still continue, For the true soldiers I hope u make it home & safe to your Familys & remember your mates that didnt. Lest We Forget

@BorrebytheViking

yeah, like the fucking hippies who want to rename "australia day" to "invasion day" and who scream about waving the australian flag on australia day to be racist, like its something only rednecks do.

what the shit!?

@Mikeybetts My grandpa was in 'nam. He'll tell you he loves the Aussies. Only anti-war hippies hate you guys. The french did start the war too.
