i responded already but i will have another shot( excuse the pun)
and made it clear that all fools who go in the army to learn how to kill people should have to pay for the privilege
I need to revise my HECS fees though
bullets $5....each food at mess $10 food on top of mountain in enemy terrain $150 Food in bunker under enemy fire $3000 food in foxhole in middle of winter $40000 food in hospital free under DVA food when dead free to widow bunk $40 per night sarge $50/hour(instructor) sarg major $150/hour Learning how to kill with a gun $400 learning how to kill with a knife $500 learning to kill with one punch $1000 learninig to kill with secret squirrel grip $4
the HECS can be repaid when you go and get real job
that adds something (rather than just kills people)
to the economy and value of society
If you die in combat then your parents who obviously did a crap job at bringing you up can pay for it
OK... awesome
PS i am a happy to make it compulsory for everyone over the age of 70 who doesnt have a job...bludgers!
