I apologize for that, English is not my first language.

And that was what I meant.

OK, next question: East Timor was a Portuguese colony before it became an independent country, and because of that when it came under attack it attracted a lot of sympathy from the Portuguese people and later military relief. My question is this, did you encounter any Portuguese forces? What was your though on them? Be honest here, no need to be nice :)

To finalize I'm Portuguese myself, and I remember how I felt, how angry we all did knowing that there was so little we could do all the way around the world, with our tiny forces and so little influence. I also remember the feeling when Australian forces entered the conflict and rocked their way into finally pacifying Timor.

I know it sounds weird but to a bunch of kids(I was... 14? 13?) in the other-side of the planet you were our heroes. I really can't stress this enough, thank you very much and give'm a hug for me, will you?

Can you describe the mission on East Timor?

Also, thank you for the IAMA and your service.

What did your medical team gave you for sustenance? Water, vitamins, somekind of juice?
