    I did my basic training with willie in the nz territorials 90th intake Waiouru in 89, he showed his qualities from day dot. Top bloke, we all knew he was gonna be a good soldier, we just didn’t know he would take it to the highest level. Proud of the bro 👍

    My grandfather was a very religious man. Served in kayforce and malaya conflicts. The six commandment prohibits murder not killing. He often cited a time to kill, a time to heal, a time for war, and a time for peace. Ecclesaties 3.3,8. It's on his head stone. He didn't spout off about war and soldiering because it's an unhumble thing to do, but he was never ashamed by his service or what he did.
