you appear to either flat out ignore or gloss over that the thread is about Australian soldiers in the Middle East
you appear to just disregard that it's on the other side of the planet and the business has absolutely zero to do with Australia
is this not a simple concept ---------------- WE SHOULDN'T BE THERE
I don't give a stuff what their history is hundreds of years ago -
they didn't fly down to Australia and drop bombs on us did they?????????
Indeed - if we hadn't have stuck our noses in there with our great friend America - bombing people out of houses, killing civilians -
it's HIGHLY likely that if you mentioned 'Australia' to someone in Afghanistan, Iraq or Iran -
they would have wondered if you were talking about Austria
even if they had ever heard of that one
the ONLY reason why we have soldiers suiciding is because we have been - somewhere else, poking our nose into someone else's business that has absolutely zip to do with us
