Don't need to, I lived history and I know what I saw Same/same last
tour 1969 till 1970, with two prior trips---61/62 & 64/65....They were
Advisor's to the ARVNS...Old guys. more interested in drinking beer
than getting out with indigenous troops and mixing it up with the
enemy---I remember thinking geezus it must take a long time to earn a
stripe in the ANZAC, These guys are in their 40's and only have 3. One
of them had 3 stripes and a crown, he seemed fairly sober & squared
away but the others? Lazy bunch of beer swilling bullshitters,
wouldn't make a pimple on the sorriest Marines ass. Don't blame them
for not wanting to fight, we shouldn't have been there anyway...It
wasn't their war, Vietnam was no threat to them. Seems they earned
elite badges to swagger around and do nothing. In America you earn one
and you have to use that training for other than caging beer. Another
thing the majority of you ass holes are Urban not  tough out back
types. I'll guarantee every one of you with a computer are city
people....Kind of like  Dallas, Houston or out right  big city
Yankee's over here wearing boots and a 10 gallon hat pretending to be
cowboys, you ain't worth spit. Don't worry though Americans and
Canadian forces have Pac Rim Sissy's covered if you are ever
attacked.  ;-P
