My son, an ex military man, has played war games with the Yanks and he reckons they are nuts!! The average Australian soldier has very little respect for the quality of the American soldier. Forget about the quality or lack of quality of the American President. The real problem is the American generals in charge are neanderthals. American weapon response is still based on trench warfare whereas China and Russia have moved into the digital age. The best and brightest military minds are not in America. Sadly they are also not in Australia. My understanding is if war started tomorrow, we would have to buy ammo for our guns from Indonesia and we have no weapons manufacturing in Australia??? Repair and maintenance is not manufacturing. But our guys have nice uniforms, bright buttons, lots of shiny medals and certificates showing they have passed courses in respect for gays, lesbians and any other genders around. The important stuff!!!
