However, not all are impressed with this use of public funds, indicating that it points to a cultural problem within the ranks. "This suggests a low morale among ADF personnel," shadow defence personnel spokesman Senator Mark Bishop said. Australian Veterans were less guarded in their comments, branding the defence forces "wimps" and "pretty boys". Vietnam Veterans Association Queensland president Brett Bullians said the cosmetic surgery showed today's soldiers were not as tough as those of his generation. "We were too busy doing our jobs to worry about things like that," Mr Bullians said. "We've still got veterans out there trying to get their money for sicknesses and health who can't get a breakthrough, so why are we giving these operations to this bunch of wimps? "They've got to be pretty boys." |
