This is what I want to know, as I never hear anything about them and wars. Where are they going to war, fighting, having terror brought to them?:eek: Do they even have a damn army?

This is a serious question, as I'm damn curious.

Yes, we have an army. One of the best in the world.

Google is always a good place to start research.

I found some interested reading, although now I'm wondering why the media isn't on them, as I NEVER here anything about Australia.

Haha.

It's great the first person to respond, now only is from .au, but has the word "Aussie" in his name.

Not sure why I like that so much :)

They attack New Zealand every so often, ChickenSteak.

Didn't you hear the latest news? As a flex of their muscle, the australian government unprovokingly bombed a bali nightclub.

and nope, there's no terror in that area at all.

:rolleyes:

Because they keep to themselves not being idiots like the us and such

I don't have a world map handy, but for the more specific question, "where the hell is Perth?" I can show you one:

I was under the impression bali was a popular .au vacation spot.

Off-topic, Curt? Read the title of it, this thread isn't going anywhere special.

Well, if Caffling wants to make crap comments about Australia attacking NZ and bombing nightclubs in Bali, I'll come after him with all I've got. What does he expect? :eek3:

...
So you saying "what do you mean" was you coming after me with all you had?

Bobby, I was making a joke. Obviously .au didn't bomb any nightclus in Bali, nor would anyone believe that they did.

It wasn't a very funny joke....why does an act of terror need to be the subject of a joke?

I took it seriously, and was like where the hell did he hear about this.

Why can't an act of terror be the subject of the joke?

The act wasn't even the subject. The thought that .au would bomb nightclub, in this situation, was the subject. I was simply posting a satire of typical [lack of foreign knowledge] ignorance.

Try and remember the whole country only has 19 million people and about 50-70 thousand in the military over all.
They sent what was requested which was SAS troops to do behind the scenes fighting, and one fighter jet squadron.

Australia is not a big populace country with 265 million to draw on like the US.

That also does not include the 3 frigates they have that are doing patrols in the Persian gulf checking all ships for arms. The Aussie have nothing to be ashamed of they are one of America's best friends.

The US will take whatever help it can get. What's the US' bordering neighbor, Canada sending?

I should look into migrating

Quoted from MSNBC:

"Australian Prime Minister John Howard, one of Bush’s strongest supporters, announced Tuesday morning local time that Australia would take part in the military coalition against Iraq. The government expelled all Iraqi Embassy staff from the country shortly after Bush finished speaking."

http://www.news.com.au/

This isn't a ground war. 1800 troops is a great addition, and I think ANYONE can undertand why a country might not want to get directly involved in this.

I have no problem, personally (not that it's even my right to have a problem) with canada not sending troops. I don't have a problem with germany objecting, as they're still letting us use our bases there.

I have a problem with france, like most others, but I can't do anything about it, so I'm just going to voice my opinion every so often, and continue my life, like I've lead it.

No joke at all. Our SAS troops are up there with the world's best and admired throughout the world. Please post your exact source for "75% overseas".

Exact source = Chanel 10 news sorry can't post it. Sure SAS might be one of the best, but theirs only a very small number of these "elite" special forces.

Australian politics are stupid, Australia are just endangering themselves by participating in the war. They wouldnt be a target if they didnt always back up americas ass.

With some 2000 Australian troops now in the Persian Gulf region, Mr Howard may be called upon in the next 24 hours to formally commit Australian troops to a US-led invasion aimed at toppling Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
Hardly 75% ;)

I seriously doubt that we have 75% of our military overseas, but it is a possibility. I'd just like to see some source to confirm it, before I accept it. :)

IMO, it's more a token gesture by our government in support of the US government. Our government made a decision that goes against the majority of Australian's wishes [unusual for any government to do] and has committed troops to this conflict.

Our 2000 troops there are only a small % of the 275,000+ US forces. It's hard to imagine that the US forces, with all their extraordinary might and power, would actually need 2000 Aussie troops with such a weak military from IRAQ.

One should not forget the contribution the Aussie Navy has made in leading the UN blockade against IRAQ for the last 10 years. They've done great work for the UN, in enforcing the sanctions and preventing smuggler's ships from entering IRAQ.

Aussie troops have always been willing to help when help is needed. It was the Aussie troops that liberated East Timor from their oppression.

WWII Bob.

Australian service personnel - from the army, navy and air force - were heavily involved in campaigns in Libya between 1940 and 1945. Tobruk is a household name in Australia.

The famous Siege of Tobruk lasted from 11 April to 7 December 1941. The dogged resistance of the Rats of Tobruk has an honoured place in Australian military history. During the height of the siege, the men of the Australian Imperial Force in Tobruk received a telegram from home, which said:

Our 2000 troops there are only a small % of the 275,000+ US forces. It's hard to imagine that the US forces, with all their extraordinary might and power, would actually need 2000 Aussie troops with such a weak military from IRAQ.

Why does everyone keep forgetting there are around 40,000 + UK forces out there? Our SAS have been out there for quite awhile now, and are conducting undercover missions to topple saddam as we speak. UK forces will also be some of the first to invade. Our planes will be some of the first to hit targets. Dont think the US forces are the only ones out there.

Regards,
Ben

Our country (australia) is still is good hands I believe... even though our numbers maybe lower in military size, our bonds with America and the UK allow us to fight but still have protection by the allies.

Due to our low number of defence, we are able to train at a much higher level of complexity and train the best for the best. Not only do we have one of the best defence team, we are also high ranked in our fire department personell and ambulance officers :)

Yep, the UK troops are there too. The US troops do constitute a vast majority though. It's not like they need any assistance from anyone else for this [as far as ground troops etc]. They do need the co-operation from neighboring countries, so they can create their logistics operations...

The joke was that he believed it, or that there are people, so uneducated, that they do believe it.

You're totally missing the point.
I'm not laughing at what happened, but if I was, if that's my way to deal with something, let me deal with it that way. However, that's not even the case.

I'm fairly sure the "attacks NZ" comment was in relation to rugby. The kiwis must feel like they're under attack when they take to the paddock against us. :)

The 75% mark is probably close to the number of battle fit, medically classified FE (forward everywhere) soldiers our Army has. A long shot, but a good one nonetheless.

It was nearing almost popular opinion, for some time, that it was done in order to pass the patriot act, increase budgets, and things of the sort.

That has mostly died down, though.

The Minogue weapons to be correct (as there are two with two weapons each) are a direct spin off from the early eighties conflict between Australia's own axis of evil "Neighbours, Home and Away and the Young Doctors" and New Zealand. Between them they supplied remote terror cells in foreign locations.

New Zealand countered with heroic fortitude with The Shortland Street faction, but fell short of the mark.

The Axis of Evil self propogated into the Minogue Weapons, The Donovan Klaxon and other splinter cells such as Mangel-Host.

All of these terrorized the UK particularly in the eighties.

Sleeper factions of the Minogue Weapons have been observed in North America on MTV and Much Music as recently as last night.

I'll just wade back into this one :)

the desert rats to be correct is actually the nick name for the 7th armoured corps. This is a brigade of the British army formed in 1938 designed to counter the Italian and German Panzer groups which were causing the yanks alot of problems.

The desert rats are in amongst the 47,500 troops in iraq as they are regarded in the formost authority in desert warfare.

The US army has a permanent 'desert rat' officer on loan at one of its training centres (i forget which) to impart desert type wisdom in the field of mechanised warfare.

and thus ends your history lesson :D

i'm amazed at that. yup it is one big arse dairy farm which gets turned into a big open air concert (or more to the point lots of open air concerts).

And, as to Chickensteak....you really need to go to school....as you are 8th grade age, you certainly should have had enough geography by now to know where Australia is.

according to my 2 year old nephew australia is outside our window and down the road. so thats that one sorted then. :D
