all these guys I served with and even those who were supporting us back here like my brother-in-law. He was an aircraft mechanic for the Aviation Corps. He was doing the e-services a total rebuild of the helicopters, the Bell 47, they'd come out of Vietnam, they'd go to Amberley, they'd work like mad on them and then they'd come back like a new helicopter.

So they weren't sent to Vietnam. They weren't allowed to go. They were too busy back here. Everyone that was involved had a job and I don't care if he was the bloke feeding us, cleaning us, bloody sweeping the floor. It's another link in the chain.
