Ben Roberts Smith plays for Australia on Friday

To question our countries participation in a war is not something that should be laid at the feet of the men and women in uniform. The decision to send our Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen in to combat is a political decision and should you wish to criticize that decision, I would suggest you take it up with your local member of the Federal Parliament.

To openly criticize a member in uniform because you don't agree with a political decision is abhorrent.

It's their choice to join the army knowing full well that we just follow the US into war, most of which we shouldn't

Why don't you lot bugger off with your personal beliefs and politics and get back to talking rugby on this site.
I'm sure there are other forums where you can vent, or maybe meet in the park somewhere and beat the crap out of each other for not agreeing.
The post started off innocently commenting on a rugby issue but somehow got hijacked.

Well, no posts for a couple of days. Thanks guys, the thread just got a bit off track.

I went to the game on Friday night and it was brilliant!

The atmosphere was great, the crowd had fun, the ANZAC legends won in style, the game raised $200,000 for the Mates4Mates charity, and Greg 'Marto' Martin ended up with a broken rib after being driven into the mud in a crunching tackle!

I also got to see my old Bath hero - Ben Clarke - play again!

A great event for a great cause, and Ben Roberts-Smith was an absolute star :-))
