My mates and I use to train in full cam's and packs off base and if we had of had replica training aids we would have used them. And our private training was applauded by the chain of command

This should have been dismissed at the court hearing this week- but no the judge slammed him. Yes he made a mistake but it should have been dismissed with an explanation as to why there was a reaction. As far as the "concerned citizens" when was the last time a terrorist donned a uniform and backpack in full public view and walked their own neighbourhood. No , they hide in the shadows and mingle with crowds like the cowards they are

This is the most rediculous charge in the history of our justice system. The poor bloke was out conducting personal training. Should charge the morons who called 000 with the offence as they instigated it.

There was a time when military could proudly wear their uniforms, the community respected them, where did that go?

What has our country come to when our own soldiers can't train in our streets. I use to do the very same thing 26 odd years ago and no one turned an eye.

Why is the state government sitting on their hands and no jerking the "authorities" into line?
And I can't believe a magistrate didn't wave his hand and dismiss it all.
What the hell is happening to this country???

When is Australia going to recognise its brave troops. Back in 1962 we used to do this once a month down at Balcombe Vic and we were waved to and cheered on by the public. Wake up Australia.

Punishing Australian soldiers for trying to be more than what they are on their own time is just wrong. Reservists only have their own time to keep up physical fitness

Australia get a grip, we are supposed to be supporting our troops not harassing them.
