  1. Thankyou. i served Alongside your Marines and I found your officers and SNCO to be worldly, intelligent, and fantastic soldiers. We have no internal problems whatsoever and I haven’t got a clue what you are on about. Both our conservative and progressive governments have committed significant budgetary measures to the ADF. We had proportionally significant military elements in the Middle East for the last 20 years and only withdrew our warship from duty in the gulf 3 years ago by the then conservative government. One piece of equipment lacking in our weapon inventory was a land attack missile capability in our navy and army, both sides of politics have now agreed to remedy this and we are currently procuring HIMAS for the army and Tomahawks for the Navy. Our government is deeply committed to the defence of Australia as am I. Happy to provide accurate and unbiased information on the ADF anytime.

  2.  @sinkorswim866  So Houthi missiles directed at Australian owned oil and goods aboard a leased merchant ship delivering those items to Australia is not our business?
