They weren’t fired on by our enemies, but by our so called allies, the americans.
How many blonde or red haired Japanese do you know of? The truck was full of fair haired Aussie men when the americans opened fire on them during WWII. Very badly trained soldiers – they also did the same thing to our troops in Vietnam many years later.

There is something to be said fir those who served, even if it wasn’t in wartime. The decision, the family, the commitment. Our thanks to your amazing dad, and his armed forces colleagues, for their sacrifices & choices.
