Quote by Mel Gibson
But although Australia was also involved in the Vietnam conflict, I can remember my dad telling us that if we were in Australia, we wouldn't be drafted until we were 20.
Summary
This quote suggests that the speaker's father informed them that, unlike in other countries involved in the Vietnam conflict, individuals in Australia would not be conscripted into military service until they turned 20 years old. This indicates that there was a specific age threshold for being drafted in Australia during that time period, providing some insight into the country's policies and the speaker’s personal recollection.
