What utter bastards

[Viper_Fujax]

im behind racer on this. I dont know much about war and stuff and i dont post on this part because my views are just "bomb them" and dont have any reason behind just the fac that they deserve it. But i do know australia has been loyal to us, so for dissing them for having a military is moronic IMO.

haha, "loyal to us"

at your service great master.

i dont mean to offend any aussie\'s here (all 2 of em), but honestly, oz + military doesnt make sense

WHY??? No one seems to be able to give a reason. Where do you think America started? Of course it had to start out small. Why can\'t Australia try to be self reliant?

I have just lost all respect for you. I\'m glad not all Americans have the disgusting views that you do.

Australia didn\'t have to commit troops, but it\'s commited what it can because Australia as a nation respects the views and values that America does. Sure, Australia may not have a massive armed forces, but at least its trying to help out.

You honestly make me sick.

Oh you are a poop head.  I was just screwing with you cause I knew it would piss you off.

But thanks so much for the 4000 troops.  They will certainly make the difference.  Aussies rock.


Please tell me you have advanced your weaponry past the boomerang though.  heh.

Vid, thats just not funny. Have some respect.

If we had more troops then we\'d give them, but we don\'t.

so that comes back to MM\'s point.

BTW, what troops did Australia send?  I have to assume medics or something.

self reliant?

has oz ever been threatened in any way, shape or form?

or do you keep a military in case the aborigines rise up and want thier land back?

I dont care as long as they do something. Everyone talks big shit, but then the US are the ones to send 90% of the men and materials.

Yeah, that\'s generally the concept of playing world police. If your dumb nut prez wants to play big, he\'ll have to send the troops.

Americans please take note of the picture linked below.

This is our world, you know, the bit outside America that has land, other customs, cultures and opinions.

Please also pay particular attention to the fact that Australia is F*cking close to the huge war in the pacific that happened only a couple of generations ago (I think it was called WWII), they had to defend themselves from primarily the Japanese but others also,...............they did bloody well too.

Next time you question a countries army please research to find out how useful they have been in the past.

Oh and the U.S. have 90% of the troops in the gulf as they probably have about 90% of the troops in the friendly world!

so when\'s the last time there was a battle on australian soil?

they had to defend themselves from primarily the Japanese but others also,...............they did bloody well too.

i hope yer not trying to say that japan attacked oz

WWII was exactly that, if Australian soldiers hadn\'t been in outlying islands defending then the Japanese would have taken the entire South Pacific, just as Nazi Germany would have walked all over the rest of the world after Europe. There was no escape in any country.

Also, Australian soldiers did their bit in WW1, Gallipoli I think, trench warfare and hand to hand nasty stuff.

how dare you even suggest that japan contemplated "taking over the world" during WWII

makes me wanna vomit

Read my previous post,............ that\'s how I dare.

It was a bad guy free for all WWII, the reason Germany did so well was down to the fact that a lot of Europe is land locked, you just keep piling troops in over land until you\'ve filled all the countries with your own, why do you think they failed to get us over the channel?

If it hadn\'t been for the US (Midway etc) and Australia containing them using the seas as borders they would have gone further.

Edit: Anyway, it was you lot that turned a nice day in Japan into 5000 degree sunshine, justify that. If they weren\'t trying to take over the world (or had ideas to) then what was it for, possibly the largest ever weapons test on live subjects?!

:rolleyes:
