And if it weren't for Bush's dad and other brave american young men, such as
my uncle, you would be speaking Japanese while working in a slave labor camp
right now. Australia has never had the ability to defend herself.

"Army short of bullets
4:48 PM February 1

The Australian Army has overstated its capabilities and cannot provide
enough bullets or shells to train its soldiers, according to a report
by the Commonwealth auditor-general.

The report says the Army cannot supply enough ammunition for weapons
training and cannot meet course training requirements."

How did Bush Sr getting shot down help Australia?

OTOH at least he had the balls to go to war instead of huddling at the
O-Club like Jr.

BTW before you cast aspersions at the Australian military you might want
to consider a few facts
1- they are among our few close allies at the moment and
2- look up the history of ANZAC in both World Wars before making stupid
fantasy-historical statements.

Stick to making jokes about the French, OK?

Doug,

A little check of history would remind everyone that when the Japs
whipped our ass in the Philippines it was Australia that MacArthur ran
to. It was the Aussie Fighting men that were the first to stop the Japs
in WW2 in one of the bloodiest fight of the War. It was from that
victory with the Jap losses that started the Allies island hopping
Victory in the Pacific

Never sell the aussie fighting spirit short.

CM,

That's correct; the Japs ATTACKED us and we fixed their asses. We
invaded CASABLANCA.:^( We lost thousands of lives fighting delaying
action in the Pacific, while we saved Europe from Hitler.

Nobody is denying that fact Thom.... but Lonny's pretentious comment of
"until the US got involved" was ludricous.... it was in fact your war...
you were attacked and immediatly retaliated.
