No female soldiers in Viet Nam - nursing staff maybe, but not even necessarily in-country.

No dis-respect, but let's just keep the facts straight.  It's not like nowadays, when it is distinctly possible for a female soldier to engage in contact, though they are not generally placed in that position as a matter of policy or operational requirement.

Universally, the direct combat role is given to men - for the same old reasons that have been around for millions of years now.  Facts do not cause hurt.

I retract a previous comment of mine - there is at least one US A-10 pilot who is female.... and I have always said that being on a ship of war at sea is a combat posting... no real choice when the Exocets fly... but generally in the Army women are not placed in direct combat roles.*

One day there may be exceptions.. until then that is the reality.

Understood Grap.

To be honest, it's just that I've never been able to discern whether Karnal is male or female. Based on your comments, if it is female, she can't have served front line.

Carry on

Give me the date and location, Im heading to Canberra for ANZAC day, Ill pop into the war memorial and check up on this heroic deed.


Take your time booby Im sure you want to get the facts right before posting them.

Well BigOl -
have you got a better story about your own war effort?

BigOl64 wrote on Apr 6^th, 2018 at 11:16pm:


Hey BigOl. Did you serve? If so, thank you for your service.

BigOl served in the maintenance sections -

no bravery decorations given out there.

Big Donger wrote on Apr 6^th, 2018 at 11:30pm:



But you did and now is the time to set the record straight.

Bobby. wrote on Apr 6^th, 2018 at 11:20pm:



Hang on. lets stay on topic here booby, you made a definitive statement about that idiot being a war hero, at least give us a date and location unless you want to be outed as a liar, like your little bullsh1t artist mate.


The military keeps excellent records of everything they do, a heroic deed such as this will be well documented and the War Memorial will be just the place to do research.

Big Donger wrote on Apr 6^th, 2018 at 11:30pm:



This has nothing to do with me fkkhead this is all about you being a fkken hero.


So date and location would be a good start, GI Joe.

You can kiss my war memorial anytime you want, Hole. I'll even take off the wreath.

BigOl64 wrote on Apr 6^th, 2018 at 11:28pm:


Thanks mate. Apologies for Karnal. Most Aussies I know in my circle at least respect vets.

My mum's mate has PTSD. It's fkked his life.

BigOl64 wrote on Apr 6^th, 2018 at 11:34pm:


Like Big Hole 64, eh?

Which one?

Was Karnal a door gunner?

Big Donger wrote on Apr 6^th, 2018 at 11:38pm:



Look like you lies are really starting to catch up with you, you should have never bullsh1tted booby he is a shocker for repeating lies as the truth to the wrong people. 


Maybe you should PM booby to shut the fkk up before you lose the last little shred of credibility.


Unless you have a date and location.

Bobby. wrote on Apr 6^th, 2018 at 11:42pm:




You are a fool who is easily swayed with trinkets and lies of bravado. You worship the Walter Mitty's of this world as you are too stupid to realise you have been had.   


Date and location!

Big Donger wrote on Apr 6^th, 2018 at 11:44pm:



Yep - a true war hero denies they have medals -
they just say they were doing their duty.


Anyway  - goodnight - it's late.

Thanks for sharing, serviceman.

Don't think I've ever met one Vietnam Vet that you would call a lefty. In fact most have been conservative voters. Very anti Labor.

Gordon wrote on Apr 6^th, 2018 at 11:41pm:

I always thought that was Stanley Kubrick putting a scene in for  shock value. But after studying up on the Vietnam War I found out  there is actual truth there. As the war progressed it was permissible to shoot unarmed Vietnamese if they ran. The US high command saw it as an admission of guilt ?????

Then you've never met one Vietnam vet then, son. Good for you.

Sir Grappler Truth Teller OAM wrote on Apr 6^th, 2018 at 11:03pm:


Nurses were members of the Royal Australian Medical Corps and were soldiers too, Graps.  They served in South Vietnam, at 3 Base Hospital at Vung Tau.  They were also sent out on the occasional Medical support mission to help the Vietnamese people.  I'd suggest you read the book, "Minefields and Miniskirts" by Siobhan McHugh.  An excellent little history of Australian women during the Vietnam War.

Quote:


Today, all ECNs are now open to women, Graps.  Provided they can pass the tests required for that role.   Women are not allowed to be banned from serving in any role by "policy or operational requirement."

Quote:


Except that ended two years ago (and so it should have).  Provided a female can satisfy the (realistic) requirements, there is nothing stopping them from fulfilling that role.  I have served beside women who have been just as fit, just as strong and just as smart as any male but they were barred from serving in combat units because of their gender because of sexism like yours.  It was pointless and it was silly. 

Brian Ross wrote on Apr 7^th, 2018 at 12:59pm:


Mainly Nursing Corps, Brian - I was RAAMC and we had three lady Captain nurses attached... good ladies and good nurses.  Not sure if there were any nurses stationed at 1AFH Vung Tau.  Knew me a quack who served there....

If you read on I suggested that the current division between men and women in Direct Combat roles might change in the future.  In some cases I can't see why not.  I already stated that my World War IV series had units composed of men and women and all combat soldiers.... some of the women outstanding.

How dare you arbitrarily label me 'sexist' for looking at simple realities?  MOST women neither qualify nor wish to engage in Direct Combat roles... but there have been some outstanding performers among them when attached to Combat units - one at least getting an MC for assisting wounded under fire.

Size is less important than physical attributes and mental attributes - remember 'Popeye' Wynn from Band of Brothers? 

"When we went into training a lot of the guys lost a lot of weight very quickly - I was only 130lb anyway so I didn't lose one pound".

130 lb is less than ten stone.... in Vietnam the average US Paratrooper was around 5'10" and 140lb of fit.... a lot of OUR SAS (Short And Stupid)* people these days are giants compared to the Brits - but I know which lot I'd prefer first, and it's all about skill and determination.

*That's what the Brits say of themselves...

Crap flushed

The left got them out of Vietnam hey? Most were home or one their way home when Gough got in Brian. The US were pulling out. That's the only reason we were pulling out.

So who did you serve with, where  and when Karnal? I'll look it up.

philperth2010 wrote on Apr 7^th, 2018 at 2:08pm:


I was barely toilet trained by the time Saigon fell. Apart from a few years in school cadets, I claim no military service.

I do have an interesting story or two about being detained at gunpoint in the central highlands near Pleiku when I was living in Vietnam. PM me if you're interested.

You civvie idiot, 


Unlike your hero karnal, I haven't crapped on about acts of heroism. Mind you this is the first time you have accused me of false service, maybe you should take your evidence to the federal police.

Ohh wait you are a an admitted filthy grub liar with no moral standing here.


Yeah thanks for participating in this thread fkkhead.

This isn't about me fkkhead, read the title this is only about karnal.


I have made no claim to fame, nor any comment about my service so what the fkk are yoy lying about what I did?.


Now double away, fool.


As for Butterworth that is karnals story not mine. As for your time in Butterworth, well done, the children of RAAFies also get to 'serve' there too. 

greggerypeccary wrote on Apr 7^th, 2018 at 2:58pm:



Because you're civilian I used simple words that your would understand and not Mil Speak and then having to explain sh1t to you.

I have neither the time or the crayons, for that.


But like I said if you have evidence thart I am lying please inform the federal cops as you know it is illeagal to do so.




This is about karnal's heroics in Viet Nam, nothing to do with me fkktard. 

BigOl64 wrote on Apr 7^th, 2018 at 3:05pm:


Evidence that you're lying?   

The onus is on you, buddy - your'e the one who made up this lie.

If you say you've served in the ADF, you need to prove it.

Good luck
