Eighter Australians or British SOF. SAS on Borneo maybe ?

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Not Borneo.

 

[Robal2pl]

Australian SAS, Vietnam?

 

[Ravage]

Not Malaysia, it's too early. Gues Robal's right.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Australian SAS, Vietnam?

Australians in Vietnam, yes, though I think they might be RAR (assuming some RAR soldiers carried M-16s).

 

[pardus]

Yes that would be RAR, M16's were carried by officers, scouts, section commanders (squad leaders) and signallers.
SAS wouldn't be manning a post like that in all likelyhood.

Is that an Honest John?

Yes it is.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Well, the following fielded the Honest John: Belgium, Canada, France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, the UK, the USA and West Germany.

I'll go with Canada, for some reason.
