Hey man, my brother in law was a pilot over there doing herc runs in and out. Im from a defence family, old man was in Vietnam, granddad was WW2 and all that. While I think the politics of all this stuff is murky at best I have heaps of respect for everyone who serves. Cheers dude
I know what you talkin about but was not there. It was our SAS wit their funny lookin vehicles. Went in a week before the main invasion. We did a good job to and didn't lose a man.
It was badass. After that, others starting jumping on board to ride the wagon, but when the curtain dropped on that full moon night, it was just the two of us there.
were you one of the communication/liaison guys posted with a SAS patrol? They did an awesome job of keeping Blue on blue negative the whole war.
Are you referring to Blue Diamond?
Funny looking vehicles were the bushrangers weren’t they? Those things are hard core. They’ve got newer ones coming in that go faster and have better range but far less protection. I’d rather a thick metal beast that goes a bit slower. Am I missing something when it comes to IEDs?
Holy shit I know. they looked like something out of an african safari, they'd go anywhere.
No Blue on Blue is friendly fire. Cause SAS was behind the lines they were often targeted by American jets. The American Liaison guys posted to each patrol kept the patrols safe. The Americans who did that job received a Unit citation from the aussie government at the SAS headquarters in WA after the war along with the SAS guys. They did a top job. Seems they enjoyed working with the SAS to. Was a heavily fought after role.
I was Navy, attached with the 1st Marine Division.
yea. They are always adapting them, Great vehicles.
lol I totally didn't read it that way the first time.
Thank u u just taught me something
na im not military. Family is going WAYYYY back and war is an interest of mine.
To be honest i can do a day trip or an overnighter. Only have to water once a day.
What book was that story from ? I can remember reading it but can't for the life of me remember where
