For when you only need you national security to be able to take pot shots with BB guns at kangaroos.
November 7, 2008 at 11:30 am
But kangaroos are your friends!

Also, I see peanut camouflage

Auscam!

@alecdalek
Where does the Aussie hate come from? You a kiwi or something?

@ nimbo:
No New Zealanders per se’, just people from countries with real militaries…
November 7, 2008 at 12:54 pm
You’re American, I assume?
Your military is expensive. That does not make it good.

You know the rest of the world goes through long periods of time when we’ve forgotten Australia even exists. So when we see something like this, we’re just like “hey, I forgot about Australians, are they still there?”. Then we go back to caring about more important stuff like anal bleaching and sand dunes.
November 7, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Alec you are Canadian. Do you want to talk about the Canadian Armed forces? Or Canada’s famousness?
November 7, 2008 at 1:10 pm
You know what’s sad?
There was a time when I was thinking “Even if the rest of the world turns into a lawless wasteland, Australia is far away enough to be fine”
But then I realised I was talking about Australia.
November 7, 2008 at 1:17 pm
If global warming gets worse, and the polar ice caps melt, out of all countries, Australia will be the least affected by it. I’d say it will be the most desired land one day.
And wow, anal bleaching? I am concerned. Seriously.
November 7, 2008 at 1:20 pm
@Caio: We don’t boast about our military.
November 7, 2008 at 1:23 pm
@dieAntagonista: I’ve been to Australia, and it’s a great big dessert surrounded by coastline owned by Japan. But that Paul Hogan was pretty cool 30 years ago, so hey, buck up!
November 7, 2008 at 1:39 pm
@AlecDalek: All Australians I’ve met so far were all hip, handsome people. I know that sounds stupid, but I can’t put it any other way. I understand you think the land sucks, but what about the people?
November 7, 2008 at 1:44 pm
@dieAntagonista: Thanks. I have family on both sides that are Australian. We always make fun of each others respective countries. It’s great fun.
November 7, 2008 at 1:50 pm
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!
November 7, 2008 at 2:05 pm
@AlecDalek: Ah is that so. Haha ok I guess you’re allowed then, to make fun of them.
November 7, 2008 at 2:21 pm
I’ve worked with both Aussie Snipers and Canadian Tankers in theater and they all seem to be pretty good cats. The Canadians had a female tank commander who could “outjoe” most of the joes I know. There were a lot of “that tank must have a portable kitchen” jokes that went through my head but never crossed my lips for fear of having my ass kicked by a chick…
November 7, 2008 at 3:37 pm
@dieAntagonista: Australia’s already pretty fucked from global warming
We may not have polar ice caps melting, but we’re in the middle of the worst drought like ever, so if it gets worse we will fry. Yay for four minute shower rules 
November 7, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Dude, you’re like right beside a giant melting icecube. Grab a bucket and a rowboat, and you’ll be set.
November 7, 2008 at 4:20 pm
@saintflick: The only major problem would be the drought of course. But there can be ways found around that.
I’ve read a lot about how it’s going to affect the planet, should the ice caps melt. They made a picture, an estimation, that shows what parts of the continents are going to be flooded and whatnot. It would be really bad for North America, parts of Europe and as for the drought it’s going to be terrible for Africa. But even so, compared to the rest, Australia will be just fine.
November 7, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Expensive? Maybe. The best? Pretty much.
“You gotta pay the cost to be the boss.”
I’m not worried. Right now bashing Americans is a “trendy” thing to do… You all know you’re just jealous.
November 7, 2008 at 4:32 pm
You guys can’t beat some dudes in caves.
What’s your military budget?
What’s theirs?
Should be enough to beat guerrilla warfare.
And yes, I wish my country was bogged down in some desert hellhole, getting nibbled away by some guys with turbans and AKs.
Do they even have AKs?
November 7, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Australia could pwn USA if they wanted.
We gots the secret weapons and shiz yo!
You yanks aint got shit on us homie jeez.
November 7, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Gallipoli?
November 7, 2008 at 5:14 pm
@thecowsays: That’s true. It was the combined effort of a Canadian pilot and Australian ground forces that brought down the Red Baron in WWI.
November 7, 2008 at 5:26 pm
@dieAntagonista: Me too.
The company I used to work for was founded by Australians. Friday was beer day (there was beer in the soda machine, free beer).
I’d like to travel to Australia one of these days.
November 7, 2008 at 5:58 pm
@saintflick:
You know the drought ended… Like a year and a half ago… We still don’t have a water infrastructure that can keep up with our exponentially increasing population, but the drought (as it’s officially defined) ended.
@Hazard:
Gallipoli was totally the fault of the Brits. They guided a bunch-load of our troops to the WRONG BEACH, (now named ANZAC cove, and a few click down the coast from Gallipoli) and decided, there is no way in hell they can climb this cliff-like beach while the turks rain machine gun fire down on them from their secure bunkers, but lets send them anyway.

Bush couldn’t find Oz with both hands, a map, and a horde of advisors, they’re pretty safe just now. Oz on the other hand, will infiltrate with a crack regiment of 10,000 barmen, who will seduce your women, render you men impotent, and leave your sheep longing for more.
Australia wins.
November 7, 2008 at 7:31 pm
I loved Freemantle/Perth when my ship stopped there. People, weather, the terrain, plus ocean? Made my top 5 favorite places I’ve been in this world. Australian and Canadian navy personnel I’ve worked alongside in joint ops- no slackers there at work or on the beach partying.

@JamesTuskGeorge:
Bush couldn’t even find his own arse in the dark with both hands.
However, Bush is probably going to be the least our worries come late January.
