[The Reibz]

I love Anzac day on KB. Another thread of shit slinging just like last year!
Just go buy your poppies and support your local RSA, you can even donate with your credit card online this year. Least we forget

Good to see it's such a special day for you.

[FJRider]

I'm just pleased to be still able to offer them.

Make the most of the opportunities to do such ... and our opinions of such will also be offered ..

Have a great day ...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Murray again.
Love your work mate.

OK, so of all those who have posted in this thread, please step forward all those who have served in their countries armed services.
.

Yep...I have.

[Waihou Thumper]

Yep...I have.

Ditto! I could have, would have? didn't have a choice...

Let's just remember the 2200 odd that never returned huh!
Many were farmers, farm hands and young blokes, like what we used to be once....not the modern Country Calendar blokes..
I bet if the choice was there and we had to defend our rights, most would be running away in this day and age.

Is there Facebook or twitter? Oh, I want a selfie...

The guys had it tough, the hiking up to Chanuk Bair, the conditions and the sheer hell of the fighting...
I am glad I live in a different age...

Let me ask yourselves one question..

Under fire, and in the conditions of WW I and WW II, how would you behave?
Honestly?

Honestly, I would have to be there to know.

I saw the aftermath of the last Balkans war, saw the kids without parents, saw the loss and destruction and highly doubt that I would get involved in war unless there was a seriously compelling reason to do so. It's seems that war in this day and age is politically motivated and I do wonder how many wars have been similar from the past... either way, we should have learned our lesson by now.

Lest we forget. R.I.P.
