"They hate our freedom, our tolerance, our democracy," he told personnel before they flew from RAAF Base Williamtown near Newcastle on Thursday.
Our young fighting men have ever been encouraged by speeches like this. See WW1 and WW2.

They did their duty and no thanks from the Aus public. Probably because the Aus public didn't see it as their fight.

So why mention the Vietnam Vets at all? ....... Weird Abbott is only doing/saying what any PM would do or say, doesn't make him a great leader which he isn't and never will be lol

You've hit it, Bushie's.
Yes our PM is once again sending our young ppl out to sacrifice their lives for a fight not in the interests of Aus but in support of British Imperialism, who doesn't give a rat's backside about how many pps sons are killed to prop up the interests of the Empire.
WW1
WW2
Vietnam
