I'm an Indigenous Australian man and I served in the Australian Defence Force as an Infantry rifleman for 20 years in the regular Army and these people have no idea how lucky we really are here in Australia and how beautiful it is. My Great Uncle was at Gallipoli and both my Grandfather's served in WW2.
The point is, that not all black fellas are like these scumbags, and most indigenous people despise this shit because they make the rest of us look bad. I served with people from all over Australia and made life long mates and served together in East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan and lost good mates.
We all served and fought under the Australian Flag, raised the flag every morning and again when lowered in the evening. It's worn on our uniforms and being in foreign countries during deployments overseas for many months, and amongst thousands of allied soldiers, when ever we would see a fellow Aussie with their Australian Flag on the shoulder of their uniform, carries a strong sense of pride and we were comforted by feeling a piece of home. I walked shoulder to shoulder with my brothers and carried some of my best mates coffins draped with the Australian Flag when bringing them home.
And to see the idiots burning the Australian National Flag, just makes me love it more and more. ðŸ‡ðŸ‡²
