      Yeah, but the accent is a force multiplier so they fight like 3 times as many men.

            • Australia bought 59 M1A1 (AIM) tanks as well as recovery, refueling and transport support vehicles, for AU$ 550 mil. The general idea is that out forces are interoperable with US forces, so for instance, Aussie tank crews can be flown over to a combat zone and man US tanks without the need for retraining or more complicated logistics of shipping Aussie tanks to the battle. It also allows our forces to integrate with US forces more effectively once they are there.

              • That sort of integration isn;t something that would go over very well in many parts of Canada. NATO? Fine. The Yanks? Oh noees!

                It might lead to private healthcare.

                    I was referring to Australian involvement in OIF, which included the 2000 they sent in during the invasion, KH.

                    For those of us who see **** beyond the immediate, KH. Who is the clueless? I submit that it is you.

                      Canada still sent more than that to Afghanistan alone.

                        I believe you've only sent 1500 to Afghanistan, yes?


                        EDIT: Well, ****, shows what I know. Wiki claims that there are 2500 based in Kandahar.

                        But once more the Aussie Accent goes into effect, so...
