The Dept Of Veterans Affairs will fight you all the way... except of course... If you win your case, then they cannot do enough for you
UNLICENSED private eyes hired by the Federal Government to check out war service claims have been accused of hounding elderly war veterans who risked their lives for the country. It is understood at least one Vietnam veteran has committed suicide as a result of alleged harassment from war researchers contracted by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans are particularly damning of the way a NSW-based company called Writeway Research Services conducts its business, with complaints ranging from harassing phone calls to "biased" or fabricated reporting. Writeway is also being investigated by the Queensland Office of Fair Trading for operating in Queensland without a necessary private investigator's licence. The company has denied any wrongdoing and insists it follows the department's research protocol. WRITEWAYS, who is run by a panel of very senior military officers, combining of all services but dominated by Army. It is owned by a guy called MULCARE (who has a brain like a damp squib) who quite often refutes any claim and by firing broadsides into the veterans claim with lies and UNRESEARCHED info The DVA have uses Writeways to research for most if not all claims and their reports always says the incident never happened? But everything is on RECORD right! and or is just missing conviently for them SOUNDS ALL TOO FAMILAR Hers an small clip of an article from the USA I found on your herbicides that were used • Most recently, the DVA managed to get the IOM to delete all references to the Royal Australian Navy's peer-reviewed report showing ships flash-distillers actually concentrated the TCDD contaminate in sea water, which was made even more toxic by picking up ions from steam heated copper tubing. • Since the beginning of the Bush administration, the DVA has attempted to destroy the medical data accumulated by the Institute of Medicine, the federal agency mandated by the Agent Orange Act of 1991 to track and evaluate veterans illnesses caused by Agent Orange. Their claim; the cost of maintaining those records and data was prohibitive. • Also during this administration the DVA has sought to de-fund the Institute of Medicine's ongoing Vietnam Veterans Agent Orange study. The IOM keeps finding more evidence and diseases caused by Agent Orange. Last but not least... I think your DVA etc and ours are as cunning as a shithouse rat... they all give us a bit of curry I hope all of the above is good oil... I'm off now like a bride's nighty |

How many of you can relate to this
VIET NAM He sits all by himself with a bottle by his side. Pushing away the woman that he courted to be his bride He thinks about his mates and when he was a young man Why did they send them there, to this place called Viet Nam? Why did they send me to a foreign land? Why did they want me to go, I couldn’t understand? To go and fight an allied war I suppose, I could lend a hand Jesus Christ what have they done? They sent me to Viet Nam They drafted them like sheep to a war they could not win To the other side of the world for some it was the end He watched his mates lay dying, spread all across the land Why did they send me there? This hell called Viet Nam The bottle is the only way; he escapes from what is real To hide away from all the pain that constantly he feels The torture and the torment that dwells within this man Why did they send him there? This place called Viet Nam He sits up straight in bed at night and looks around the room Wondering if he’s back at the place he was in June It’s been thirty plus years since that war put shivers through this man But every night he goes to bed He dreams of Viet Nam His family all around him, they really don’t understand What has happen to there boy over there in Viet Nam? Unless you’ve seen it for yourself, you don’t really understand What happen to the men? In that hell called Viet Nam Author – A Veterans Son from Australia

So did I....
I also volunteered, enlisted Airborne Unassigned. Knew that would get me to Vietnam and a great chance for Parachute Infantry. The poem doesn't do us all 100%....but the thoughts are the same.
Boy John are you picky! Pack
