Thanks Frank, loved the simplicity, the flow and the story! ! ! Look fwd to reading more of you. Pls ignore the lefty, trendy, unawarranted comments of some, ; those who never served anything, apart from themselves - pariahs who enjoy the freedoms your mates fought and died for. Your sacrifices yesterday, gave us our freedom today. I do not believe you are being racist or war-mongering. You are telling your story - that's what is important. Those os us who went to war neither enjoyed it or ever get over it properly. What is insulting, is people who decry your service and your sacrafice, with their 'politoical correctness.' If Herbert had ever been to war he would know, but he hasn't and he doesn't know - never will. And the irony of it is - those of who did go to war, did it in the hope his kind never would have to go to war! And, these 'armchair commentators, ' - 'the men who come from behind, ' to quote Henry Lawson, will always be with us, , sheltering beind us, cowering in their intellectual hideouts.
