Was that after the pro-democracy elections that saw the military junta voted out of power, except that they then clamped down on the populace and stayed in power shooting the opposition? Britain was a bit non-commital about it. Strange, seeing as we sold the east timorese government Hawk jets not long before.( Strokes his chin......)

I was dumber than most.
First I spent four years as one of Uncle Sam's misguided Children (Semper Fi Devil Dogs!).
Then I joined the Navy and became a Submariner -- MM2 (Nuclear) on the oldest and youngest boats in the Atlantic fleet (at the time).
