Of course not!
If that was the case, it might remind the political vermin that loyalty is supposed to be a two-way affair.

Tom,
Our politicians are not like that at all. They continually think of the ex-servicemen and women. They court them with promises as elections approach and make grand speaches before and on ANZAC Day.
Then as the number of veterans dwindle each year the pollies cut funding and benefits to save a few dollars.
Self Defence is not only a Right, it is an Obligation.
