Gregg and Laugh why don't you do a Thelma and Louise for us all here and give us a bit of comic relief by doing a canyon deed of daring do.

Why - is the truth starting to hurt a bit?

"There were 2,234 "plausible" allegations of abuse made by more than 1,650 people with an over representation of women.

"A total of 1,139 of the accused perpetrators were still serving in regular or reserve forces."

Gregg sweetie, you know I was being facetious I wouldn't like to see a hair on your sweet head disarrayed.

However I am anxty about this thread about the valour of bona fide heros being hijacked for some pivel over abuse in the armed forces. You want to bat on with that one, fine, but start your own thread on it.

Nah. This Thread is not about 'valour of bona fide heros' at all. It is about a devaluation of the VC thanks to commercialisation/politicisation of one recipient.

4. None of the above.

I worked with a group of ex-Duntroon guys for a while and was absolutely freaking disgusted with their attitude to women in general. I enjoy a good joke but these guys were beyond the pale. All the reports about misbehavior there are now in focus for me. Either they instill it there or they select for it, don't know, but it was there and very wrong.

From what I have seen the ADF needs another good review and an attitude adjustment.

Including perhaps a stance on government publicity campaigns devaluing the awards system.

I knew there was some sad myopic view involved, pretty much negated everything you have to say on the matter doesn't it.?

You are using this forum as an opportunity to belittle the character of a VC holder in the hope that the vile sh1t runs all the way down the hill.

You are nothing more than a child trying to be a 'big boy', run along little man.

Unfortunately this site has been over run by a bunch of losers whose idea of action is watching a movie.

These pathetic creeps get their jollies off by criticising heros like Ben Roberts-Smith. Their own lives are as empty as a vacuum cleaner with a clean bag on it.

Ripping heros to shreds is about as brave as these creeps with get,in their pathetic self serving lives.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.
