Eddie Robertson

And I thought, you know what, mate, he didn't have to do that, you know what I mean?

Because the last time I saw RS before that was in Camp Russell in TK and we actually had a bit of a run-in, like a verbal stoush in the mess hall.

He'll probably laugh if he hears this and the boys who were there will laugh.

It was just when he got a bunch of fucking alpha males who were running in the red line.

And look, mate, like I had fucking really good mates that were – the guys that – and it's not the whole 4AR to Perth thing or whatever.

I had mates that – like when I got out of – when I left to go contracting, right, and the first time –

And I was running around in Baghdad.

There were blokes from SASO who'd done the same thing.

They'd been told, if you leave, you'll never come back.

You know, if you go over there chasing money or whatever, you're not welcome back here.

So we were all like these outcasts over there.

And I remember there was like a couple of times, like I'm not going to say his name.

His first name's Steve from Perth.

He's a very intense individual.

I can be as well.

And people will know who I'm talking about.

And I really like this guy.

He's good value.

And, um, I remember one day he was running some kind of solo op out on fucking buy up and like route Irish and he's just cruising around in this fucking Cadillac on his own.

And I'd seen him driving around the green zone in it.
