"Evan Brennan" wrote in message m... "The CO" wrote in message ... How many MIA Americans in Vietnam? Still? I believe we have about 6 or so. How many pilots did you have, about 6 or so? Three million Americans served in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. Against about 50,000 Australians. Has it escaped your keen brain that the Australian population is a tad smaller than the US. (BTW Quality will outclass quantity any day) |

By the way, Australia was nearly as useless during World War II. The disgrace started on your home front. Their unwillingness to help began to manifest itself in the form of Australian dockyard workers, who rejected changes to union contracts to aid the war effort. They also refused to work when it was raining. They received double and triple-time pay on weekends, so many of the laborers did not feel a need to show up during the rest of the week. The spineless Australian government failed to intervene, because they did not care if Allied troops were getting killed in battle. As of consequence, US troops were pressed into service to move cargo and they usually did so more than twice as fast as the Australian dock workers. Later, the Yanks tried to automate the process by bringing in cranes and forklifts but the dock workers reacted by staging strikes. They should have shot the lazy Australian *******s on sight -- a formal firing squad was too good for them. With friends like Australia, we do not need enemies. 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. ; ) |

Another stirring tribute from the USA to its fighting men. ; ) Which is worse, no toolkit on arrival or a badly built aircraft? You really are dumb aren't you Evan. |

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. Phil. |

The really sad and pathetic part, is that the Australian Task Force was supposed to be guarding the approaches to Long Binh and Bien Hoa at that time. Yet the units you were supposed to check attacked our bases anyway. Despite being given the chance to redeem themselves, the Australian Army managed to screw that up too. On 10 May 1968 (after the Tet offensive) IIFFV officially requested that 1ATF be deployed into AO Surfers (north of Long Binh). Yes, that explains why half of the 5th VC Division attacked the northern perimeter of Long Binh. Had you looked at a map you have noticed that the 5th VC Division staging areas were north of Long Binh. |

Crap, how do you equate "Ambush Patrols" and with noisy helicopters and gunships? Where do get this crap? The SAS reserved five helicopters for every 5-man patrol. It says so in their unit history.

Yes, your Australian troops at FSB Coral and FSB Balmoral were saved by US airstrikes. 1969/70 we so dominated Phuoc Tuy that your military Only because the 5th VC Division and D445 were shattered by US troops in Bien Hoa Province during Tet, with their remnants worked over again by US troops during Mini-Tet 1968. |
