SAS: Phantoms of War, says otherwise. Why do you insist on being
my patsy?


"The Aussies taught us a lot about small unit ops" Brig General Ellis
'Butch' Williamson to David Horner 29 Apr 1986







When we (the Paras) found something we shot at it. We did not wait and
establish the patterns, look for opportunities after out thinking the VC
commander. We were just not patient enough - too much too do in too little
time. We did not use reconnaissance enough. Our ambushes were for security
not to kill. Australians were quiet hunters - patient, thorough, trying to
out-think the VC. I would not have liked to operate at night and know there
was a chance of ending up in an Aussie ambush.



Lt Col George Dexter CO of 2/503rd Bn to David Horner 10 May 1986


Phantoms of War isn't the only book Dave wrote...

" Should also mention that when the Australian Army sent the Centurion
tanks to Vietnam, the dock workers in Sydney pilfered the tools on
every vehicle.

Another stirring tribute from Australia to its fighting men. ; )

Mr Brennan. I have sat and watched your posts
The incident/s you speak of have no bearing on the subject.
Some facts.
1 If your talking about the day we loaded onto MV Jeparit later to become
HMAS Jeparit
the thieving wharfies have always stolen any thing that they could. I have
also observed
what you call I think Longshoreman knock off whole containers off a
Columbus
line ship. Containing stoves and fridges destined for relief in a decimated
country.
Thus I think if your trying to score points of troll you are barking up the
wrong tree.

Turning back to our cents' all the wharfies got were some sidchome spanners
long handled shovels and rods used to clean barrels.
What they got in return was a bloody good hiding behind number 13 shed at
Balmain
and even one member of the Jeparit's crew got himself blacklisted from
Australian ships
for next 15 years as he loaded against union orders. He made a good career
move
as ended up engineer on Norwegian Tankers and made heaps more money
but was "black" when in Oz a brave man with principals . Recall his Name
was Frank
Loveridge.

Mr brennan I doubt that you were even a serving member of anything
but sit fat dumb and stupid with a over burden prejudice getting flawed
data off the web and some books.Trying to intimate that your
possessed of experience and knowledge.It is obvious that
your either afraud or an embittered person.
either way get some help.

Bottom line your a loathsome spotted reptile who needs to get away from
the pc for a while .

This **** was over thirty years ago and many have moved on.
Having said that -where are you and happy to debate it with
Photos diaries and in depth knowledge with you any day?
Whatever the reasons for that sad war and ALL its casualties
you do your fellow countrymen no honour by such posts.

Move on cobber and say something constructive rather than
proving what a stroker you are.

I've been lurking in this news group for some time and as my first post I'd
like to make one small suggestion.

We know our troops do well, and most of the yanks do appreciate the
contribution that the ADF make (I've got a few yank friends - I've asked
them), but arguing with this drop kick, Evan, is counter productive.

Just killfile this *******, he really isn't worth the time or effort.

There's a whole PhD in that one line, Dr Mace.

Looking back over his hate posts against the Pom and Aussie military I
am forced to state that we have (in Evan) a disturbed character
here...

Welcome to the club, mate. I hope you won't be shocked to discover that more
than one of us has his aluminum foil beanie wrapped too tight. Comes with the
territory, I guess.
