Comments by "Brad Griffin" (@BradGryphonn) on "American Reacts to Australia VS United States (USA) Military Comparison" video.

  1. Comparisons between Australia and the US are very interesting. I've long held the belief that the US was influenced strongly by their war for independence history. Therefore, defence spending and the capitalisation and rampant promotion of gun rights were born from that history. White Aussies came from convict stock. Our Cultural capital (in Psychology terms) is completely different. I'll also state that the economics of the US Government and the arms industry, in my opinion, survive by ensuring that the US is involved in some sort of armed conflict. Please understand, I don't blame the majority of US citizens, I just feel that the US is culturally controlled by the perceived need to keep the economy going by producing arms and securing oil deposits. In respect to the video. No, we spend relatively little on defence. I think we rely on our Big Brother, the US, to come to our defence when we need defending. Personally, we all, as humans, need to learn to be excellent to each other.

  2. BUNNINGS! In Queensland and Western Australia you can/could get a Covid vaccine when you went shopping at Bunnings Warehouse. I shit you not. I think you folks have a big Lowes hardware warehouse? Imagine a Covid vaccine tent near the sausage sizzle tent outside a Lowes.

  3. Sorry for the multiple comments. I became a fan of modern military aircraft when I worked airside in the freight industry. I got to meet an FA-18 pilot before an airshow in our city. He described how efficient the aircraft was by stating that one of these jets could take from Brisbane some 800km away and release ordinance on our city of 75000 people, completely wiping it out before anyone knew what was going on. On the days before the show, he showed everyone at the airport how nimble the aircraft was by taking off and instantly going vertical until he was out of sight. Insane weaponry.

  4. If you take the military figures/stats for US v Aus in per capita terms, we're equivalent in troops etc. However, if we were invaded by an Asian country, we'd be basically defenceless. Indonesia could give us a run for our money.

  5.  @RandomStuff-he7lu  They have trained with Australian troops for years. They know our weaknesses. But hey, I don't really care. War is futile.
