After Eight days of incarceration in a hospital bed without excersize except for those of visits to the toilet on wobbly legs and one nurse assisted, it is of little wonder I am back to square one with my mobility, Other horror occasios the recent Tuesday and Wednesday nights around 2AM freezing near naked in the toiet waiting for the nurse, those two occsions of misery approx 45 minutes.the first and the next at least 30 mins. This visit was intended to be similar to previous times, for a pump out job on the nether regions wherein excess Urine seeps. The previous occasion - the 4th I was in and out within one day, and all was well, and despite the hospital having all the details; the appointed Doctor whose name I cannot pronounce and brain I cannot believe has this song and dance tune on LP called "tomorrow I want to see you" on the flip side reads-a song, Its called "Paying off The MERC"."

However, to answer your question, yes I am an ex serviceman, or veteran as some choose to name as.
First of all I am not a member of the RSL although many of my former colleagues were or are now.
I fought in the Australian and Pacific area mainly to benefit the Australian people during WW2. Returned to Sydney twice during and at the end of WW2.
I am not Australian born, but have lived here forty years and I am a certified dyed in the wool Australian citizen and have a Australian passport.
Problem is, as soon as I request for the Australian war veterans medical benefits card, "The Elusive Gold Card" the reply is "Sorry, You are not a REAL Australian are you".
However, There are ex German Soldiers who migrated here in the late forties who joined the Australian Army and fought ? served in KOREA in the early Fifties. They are REAL AUSSIES and get a F*^#@*^#G Gold card. It just doesn't make sense.
However, I did not serve in Vietnam. I served in the 'Atlantic'. 'Mediterranean'. East Indies' and 'Pacific' in WW2 and the Exodus fiasco in the Med 47-48. 'KOREA in the fifties and the Suez Cock up in 1956. and much more.
Sucking up to Vietnamese I thought was a bit over the top . but it appears to have been settled amicably.
BTW I have a British passport too. Was told when renewing my Aus passport, "You don't need to have a Brit Passport".
"Well" said I "You can have it in exchange for the Aussie Vets Medical Gold card. No takers.
The Clark parliamentary committee in Canberra are a bunch of dimwitted assholes and GERT by double standards and bigotry.
Might sing that when 'Gert by sea' pops up again.
I think it might be time to amend some of those laws. But how does one do that and not slide down the slippery slope?
Most Muslims given any opportunity to eliminate any non Muslim organization will relish the chance. Most Muslims have an inbred ignorant fear factor similar to Catholics, fear of the wrath of a non existent God Or Allah.
The whole of the faith industry is riddled with lies and scientifically proven untruths.
I prefer stories like Alice in wonderland, or my own story about fairies at the bottom our English garden.
Simply put: Thou shalt have no other god but me.
The name of the new God would be
'Commonsense'.
Muslim women should be allowed to be women and not chattells and sperm receptacles.
Mum sends love too.
