Off to Springvale Cemetry on Saturday for a Vietnam dedication service for my brother who passed a little while ago , this caused me to remember back to my days as a sprog applying for a days leave to see my brother before he left for Vietnam , the response from the reg office / XO was "leave denied" with the reason being that it wasn't really a war and not that dangerous as it was nearly over??? Makes you wonder what planet some of these people live on ???? :faaaarrk:

Sadly, that was the mentality of the idiots in charge Sully. I believe it has changed somewhat these days, too little too late for many. My thoughts will be with you for your remembrance service. :yes:

No women and children - looking at the current "refugees" nothing has changed.
