Personally, it DOESNT bother me one little bit, I was merely pointing out why it is (IMHO) that people from outside the US may have an interest in just exactly who is in control of the most powerfull nation on Earth, and it's attached military.
You guys say "It's none of your damn business who runs the US", all I'm saying is that all the time the United States president has the ability and the will to affect the lives of people not living on US soil, then those people will have an interest in who is president of the US.
Go back and check if you like rino, you will not find one word of US bashing in any of my posts, allthough I am apparently a part of a minority in that I believe Australia did the right thing by standing by our American allies and going to war with them (alongside them, not against them),I am actually on your side.
BTW, Aussie military might, such as it is, WAS thrown straight into the fight, right alongside your own boys in uniform, and I believe if you take the time to check, you will find that wherever they have been in action, they have done a superlative job, and have the respect and admiration of the US service personelle they have come in contact with.
Edit #2 As far as invading Australia goes, judging by the performance of US forces in excersises with Australians playing OPFOR, that may be a whole different kettle of fish than some desert sandpit full of camel herders and terrorists too
The Aussie military may not be that large, but they are extremely good at what they do.
