Thanks for the info, Anmon, the only reading I ever do on aussies in Vietnem is on SAS, so maybe I'll expand my knowlege base.

And Clarence has a point, in Vietnem there were The absolute elite, Green Berets and SEALs, (the kind of men who'd go on to make up stuff like Delta) who had essentially made vietnam theirs in the years they had been fighting there, then there were less elite units whose espirit de corps still tended to produce high professionalism and even enthusiasm, but all too often the average infantry was made up of conscripts who did pot half the time. Granted, you certainly can't really generalize by unit. The point is, you really can't generalize about american soildiering based on an exceptional situation over 30 years ago.
