  • Really a shame that a song like this, a story about something real and meaningful, only has about 100k views 7 years after it was uploaded here. This kind of song writing and storytelling not only deserves but NEEDS to be heard. There's obviously a lot of influence from Redgum's song about Vietnam. But Afghanistan is our Vietnam. Thank you for sharing your story, Fred Smith. -Afghanistan Vet US Army

  • I firmly believe the fair dinkum heroes are the one's that never made it home. The rest of us are simply survivors left to tell their story, and we are compelled to do so. I knew Bewes from D Coy, and although he's been gone for 10 yrs now, his smile, and his vigor for life, will never be forgotten.

YOUR silence is acquiescence which these parasites prey on. For the love of your children, Stand Now, or roll in your grave for evermore.
