ANZMI false and misleading Assertions

[Bigcol]

leave this thread open

1) so PMC / RLI can eventually respond to the accusations

2) so forum members can vent their spleen, and try and get answers from others who may or may not know more

3) so it can be found on the Web, if anyone is researching this, or instances like this, it is a record for reference use

as an Army Brat, and Proud of my Father as being a Vietnam Vet,
I take it personally when others claim they were serving somewhere in the ADF when they were not

Paul,

It's no secret on this forum that you and I were mates and I was instrumental in getting you reinstated (at your request) when you were banned. As you know I've been aware of the ANZMI accusations for about six months. You refuted these on the ANZMI website, the Save Woolgoolga War Memorial Facebook sites and other Facebook sites.

I know what you told me personally and this didn't gel with what you later publicly denied. Mates don't lie to each other, at least I don't and they don't use each other either. It didn't take me long to realise you were actually a fraud, that's when I ceased all contact with you in Sept last year.

I've refrained from commenting here but I've had a couple of PM's and phone calls asking my view on all this as we were mates.

I've never done any military service but I have mates and family who did. My father and several uncles fought with the Allies in WW11, my uncle was killed and he was only 17. My father and uncle then went on to fight in Indonesia for another three years (they were in the commando unit). My uncle was seriously wounded but continued to fight on and saved several others from certain death. He received a medal from the King and had the limp to show for it until he died. I still remember the burn scars on my late fathers back from when a troop carrier exploded above him. Neither of these brave men sought any glory or celebrated the war, it wan't till after my fathers funeral that someone from the RSL even realised he was a returned serviceman and contacted us. It wasn't something they talked about or glorified, I do recall him telling us as boys that he hoped we never had to live through a war.
My best mate of over 50 years enlisted in the army as soon as he turned 18 during the Vietnam war, he never got posted overseas as the war ended not long after. Fifteen months ago I attended the funeral of a family friend of over 40 years, he served in 1ARU, 2RAR Vietnam. He was wounded at least once and did occasionally speak about what he saw, he went on to serve as the local RSL President and later Vice President until he became to ill to continue.

I've been around a while and worked with several ex servicemen, they didn't see it as anything shameful that they didn't see action. I have the up-most admiration for them and all returned servicemen, BUT I don't have any time for frauds.

Drop the spin Paul, I think you should seek professional help.

yep, seems like i too was duped as much as i dont like to admit it unless Paul can come up with some solid answers im afraid i too have to go with the belief that he has been living a lie and spreading bullshit all over, i did as previously stated get some good help for my niece in Victoria through Paul for which i will be forever grateful but to misrepresent yourself so publicly is not on, shame on you and the lies and deceipt.

TD, I don't think it reasonable to put pressure on any member to post, it is an individual decision.
Everyone who has been on the forum a while will have felt some impact of all this, some more , some less. Choosing to say nothing is just as valid as speaking out.

I dont care one way or another I just want to get back to normal.
Just seems to be dragging on, did AB go away ?
I wasnt waiting on NN he's a big boy and can do what he likes
