I have a Vietnam foot note, they were involved there as part of the
SEATO pack I believe, Sent their best the SAS----I was not impressed,
they stayed in their fort and bad mouthed the USMC

Your involvement in SVN was .....................?
Read some History, instead of inventing your own.
As well as SASR we had a Task Force of 6000 Infantry (Rotated 9 Bns each 3
years) and The AATV (Trg Team)
Your US Commander gave us the main responsibility for 3 Corps area (look
it up on a Map)
I was an Infantry Coy CSM with 8 Bn RAR on combat operations in SVN
1969-1970 and worked with a lot of US Army, Navy Engineers, Artillery, and
Air Force.
Which Australian Units did you get "involved with" to form your "I was
not impressed" mantra?
