Yes, great progress

And China's political freedoms have grown so much since this:

China banned that word so you're going to have to rewrite that.

I'm waiting for the Chinese censor to do the job for me

the war is going to run out of support before it runs out of soldiers

True Horsie. We need to impliment the Zkribbler Exit Formula:

Troops(needed) = Troops(trained Iraqi) + troops(Coalition)

Therefore as the number of trained Iraqis increases, the same number of coalition troops can be pulled out.

we just put a battalion in there to help out - we got our own province - just like we did in Vietnam

As I recall, the Aussies were awesome in Vietnam...except for that little incident where the country ran out of Fosters, and the military tried to foist American beer off on them.

These nine rules were handed out to all Australian soldiers in Vietnam

NINE RULES

1. Remember we are here only to help; we make no demands and seek no special treatment.

2. Try to understand the people, their way of life, customs and laws.

3. Learn the simple greetings of the Vietnamese language and use them frequently.

4. Treat friendly people, particularly women with respect and courtesy.

5. Don't attract attention by rude behaviour or larrikinism.

6. Avoid separating us from the Vietnamese by a display of great wealth or privilege.

7. Make friends amongst the soldiers and people of Vietnam.

8. Remember decency and honesty are the signs of a man and a soldier; bad manners are the sign of a fool.

9. Above all remember you are an Australian, by your actions our country is judged. Set an example of sincerity and fair play in all your dealings with Vietnamese and with other people who are assisting them.

He should come back to playtesting Civ scenarios instead.

I'd certainly take him over the current genius in charge.
