Sorry, I thought free speech was a valued thing in the home of the brave and the free. So the fact that Budokan has made a very valid point that you don’t like now allows you to tell him to shut up?
I think it is also fair to point this out to all of you who have branded people as traitors and/or unpatriotic for voicing their opinion that the war that is currently being carried out is wrong that those people also have the right to free speech.
So far, Bin Laden has managed to run and hide very well. That is the truth of the situation. Like it or lump it.
Oh I will rest assured of that! BTW, you Aussies could help out as soon as you upgrade your Air Force, Sopwith Camels aren’t very useful this day and age.

Well, every time our sopwith camels went up against your top guns in the last few joint wargames we whipped their arses. Maybe you guys should be using sopwith camels
BTW our SAS are on their way to help out in Afghanistan. Even your President acknowledged the effectiveness of the Aussie forces.
ABandit, the Aussie SAS is rated very good, they just lack the on the job experience that the Brits and US has. I’m sure they’ll enjoy putting a few notches on their belts.

There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change; it is, ‘To use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wounds, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.’ Patton
Given that most of their missions are not exactly publicised anyway, it’s kind of hard to say how much involvement they have had compared to the UK or US forces. Either way, they supposedly have a pretty good reputation as do the regular infantry.
JJJ - keep trying buddy. You can live in your own little world and keep believing what you want.
The Aussie SAS and the British SAS would kick the butts of any US soldier you care to mention. I think you’ll find that you’re currently losing this war in Afghanistan AND at home. What did your Defence Secretary say? “The Taliban are proving to be more able and determined than we thought”, or words to that effect. And you thought they were just a bunch of barbarian ragheads that would pee their pants the moment the grand ol’ US of A showed up! You failed in Vietnam, you failed with Saddam - what, are you going for the hat-trick?
