Usual political abandonment of veterans. Then they dare to stand up on the podium on Anzac day and give sycophantic feel good speeches. The normal hypocrisy of our politicians.
In the book "Maralinga" by "I can't remember" Australia between 1952 - 1962 was exposed to over 352 nuclear and dirty bombs. In most cases the prevailing winds floated over most of Australian cities and regional towns and pastures and in one particular year 1958, Sydney had an highly toxic and radiactive cloud descend. At that time my father was living their. 12 months later I was born. I was born with an genetic disorder, that has now been proven to have been caused by exposure to nuclear radiation. Subsecquent children and grand children, great grand children have been born with defects including missing digits or webbed feet and hands, extra digits, genetic imbalances and severe psychological conditions. The British government instituted the milk program in Australian schools after the bombings to monitor the reaction of contaminated milk on children and the likely affects nuclear radiation has on the population of a country long term This study only ended in 1992.
My mates old man who’s a Vietnam vet has a gold card from the military and he’s fucking laughing. Pays his mortgage, stays permanently drunk and provides for 4 kids and 5 dogs with what he gets.
No complaints. The stories I’ve heard from him he legitimately deserves it. That shit was fucked up.
He's probably crying inside from the PTSD, veterans don't get pensions for nothing.
Maybe I gave the wrong tone, he deserves it but he’s laughing because it’s spent on chemical warfare against his memories, as opposed to being forced to spend it on actual healthcare. He’s definitely got issues.

But if you're a currupt Boarder Force Commissioner not doing his sworn duty, you get rewardly richly.
Here is a "serviceman" acting on offical orders he swore to uphold to his own peril gets fuck all.
What as a country have we become?

You deserve a medal for that one, here..
rummages around in a box of border force medals
You're owning up to having a box of border force medals? I'd be far too embarrassed...
They're easy to earn. Here's one for "not being a shit cunt" which is funny, because there is one "for service rendered as a shit cunt"
I bought mine at the toy shop. I even have a gold Sheriff one. I got a free canon and a rickety boat with it.
