This is the 75th and NOT one lousy reply. I find it VERY difficult to believe that members here are serious about communication. I searched for an exserviceman's group for months to get in touch with folk who had a similar background to mine. I thought I had found it and commenced to post. ALL I got in return was dead silence.It seems that because I am an Australian; that our contribution to Vietnam is unimportant If you do not want me here; SAY SO, and I  will simply disappear and so not cause you any more embarasement. Dearie me; I feel SO insulted; Please try and attempt some good manners.The very fact that I have not used any bad language at this stage is a giant compliment to my manners. Obviously Australians have manners and are able to control ourselves. I really should let you all have a big mouthfull of very bad language. THANK YOU 4 NOTHING.
