Karnal.

This is Bobby elsewhere.

I never signed up to be a soldier.

Why should I pretend to be one?

Yes, Bobby....that is what Karnal said.

Quote:

The sixth battalion was the next to tour and it was me who drew the card.

Does that help?

Perhaps you can help Bobby out. He seems unaware of what happened in the late 60s to blokes like me.

So - Karnal was conscripted into the army.

Sorry Bobby, I'd rather not post too much in a MRB run by a racist bigot.

Gee......the penny dropped.

Do you know the process leading up to conscription, Bobby?
