Getting away from the BRS controversy for a bit, it seems that some of the comments on here are from members who have no idea about wearing an ADF uniform. Typical of the civilian public.
When there are fires and floods, they ask "Where is the Army ?" in the belief that there are thousands of them just sitting around watching TV or playing cards, with billions of dollars of specific firefighting and swift water rescue equipment sitting idle.
As for social media misinformation, during the COVID lockdowns, when the ADF were assisting NSW Police, I couldn't get over the reports of armed Army personnel pulling people from their homes during the night and forcibly vaccinating them. WTF ! !
WW1 and WW2 veterans were treated and respected as heroes. For the past 60 years since they have been ignored, denigrated and vilified.
For the forum whingers ......... join up, now, and enjoy the tax-free pay, free clothing, free food, and free housing and accommodation that you seem to think ADF members receive. You could be disappointed.

Ira, unfortunately the system will never do a great a job in supporting vets here there or anywhere.....
As has been mentioned politics/pollies that bring on going to war, let alone the pollies past to present can't manage to run a chook raffle at home supporting past troops/vets.
At least alot of US public give a walking by vet a Thankyou, we can't even do that but they read the medias agendas then make comment amongst themselves having a latte.
