Australia is going to send like 1000 men total no matter what we do. You guys are too busy flying practice sorties to impress the chinese.
Juan Rivera
your nation doesn't even fucking do shit.
2 elite battalions fucked around to no real effect in afghanistan for a couple months just to figure out what it's like.
a million americans have actually murdered or participated in the murder of sand-nigger men, women, and children, through decades of royla ass fuckings delivered by the red, white and blue.
get on our level, emu-food.
Colton Ramirez
Its quite hilarious when your commanders prefer our special forces over your own.
We are the military bulls. Go home and prep your wives, cucks.
John Baker
thanks for the free man-hours on unimportant lackey missions, you mean.
our regular soldiers have more combat skill and experience than the best unit you aussies could muster. this isn't up for debate. has your nation ever actually fought a war against sentient creatures?
Eli Torres
Biggest drawback of joining the military is working with americans.
You filthy cunts are worse than jews
At least the jews have some brains whereas you fucks just wander around ans screech at the notion that the US is the worst civilised nation on the planet
Tyler Lopez
We are better at killing ethnics that you'll ever be.
prepare to get hazed and raped sissy boy, while we take care of your wife at home, the military is for cuckolds who can't handle the responsibility of a man without a gun, a bulletproof vest and more men than the enemy.
Charles Nguyen
What kind of aussie are you?! Have some faith in your defence force you wanker!
Keep chasing girls you fucking child, maybe thatll get your testosterone flowing instead of doing real work you fucking year 12 dropout bogan trash
David Anderson
dude, that kind of shit was a daily occurence for us in vietnam. a couple of platoons get holed up by an unruly mob of slants, and they basically just keep shooting anyone that gets close why artillery pulverizes the entire planet a quarter mile in front of them.
still, good job on slotting 300 gooks with 100 shitposters and a whole lot of artillery.
but it's like, not a big deal to america.
Aiden Morgan
Haha, we should go out and kill some commies again sometime
>Are you implying commies are sentient?

Jacob Price
why?
Why should I have faith in the defence force?
what have they ever done?
are you one of those fuckwit larpers who thinks he's a "digger"?
you're a mercenary, nothing but.
so you probably have more respect for the army than the civilian populace? so you think the army made the people good, not the people made the army good?
you're just traitorous scum, that doesn't love his country, and wants power over his fellow man.
Colton Parker
Are you an abo by any chance?
Easton Campbell
>you're a mercenary, nothing but.
this is a distinctly abo speech pattern.
Asher Robinson
Oi fuck off, the abos ive met are great people!
Its the aboa that harp on about the white man and want australia day changed because its "invasion day"
Him being an abo does not make him a cunt
He's a cunt, maybe an abo, those two have no connection
Ian Moore
You, mate, need to re-evaluate your life.
If its easy money, girls and grog you're after better stick to being a replaceable tradie.
If you wanna do something with your life look for something better
Merry christmas dickhead
Zachary Perez
The abos aren't that bad I suppose, pretty smart actually, they actually taught our monkeys about petrol during WW2

Good luck brother. Did my time, U.S. Army, Afghanistan 2010- 2011.
Route clearance in Kandahar and Helmand province.
Brody Brooks
Thanks mate
Ever worked with aussies in the field? Got any stories to tell?
Wyatt Hernandez
Actually, no. The Aussies I saw stayed on base. Though apparently they were much more active in the North.
From what I heard they were decent to work with.
I worked extensively with the British in Helmand and the Romanians in Northern Kandahar/ Zabul province.
I love them both. Romanians are based as fuck. We'd used to trade candy for Romanian wine and get wasted on wine and khat on top of a mountain with these crazy Romanian dudes.
In the heavy shit in Kandahar it was just us burgers and the ANA/ANP.
Matthew Green
You probably worked with my old SGT. He was EOD and was there for about two years. He was involved with some of the few Australian deaths we had over there.
Did you see any bushmasters in actions? Safest things to drive in over there WRT to IEDS.
Parker Gonzalez
This Aussie fag is actually correct. Australian elite soldiers are bro tier. During WW2 if the allied forces felt a certain area of a theatre needed more morale and manhood they would send a couple dozen Australians. They were nothing short of modern day beserkers.
Jeremiah Robinson
I wish i had bro but I never dealt with any EOD other than US Army, Air Force, Marines, ODA engineers (not EOD but same skill set) and British EOD.
Sounds like a good guy, EOD don't play. I was a Combat Engineer and we had our own 3 man EOD team (combination of Army and Air Force)
> tfw Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff give you their coin saying good job disarming so many IED's

I'm aware they're badass dudes. However that other US user made the perfect point. In my rotation in 2010, the 2 squad leaders had 7 deployments totaling 9 years between them. Almost all of those years in mid to high levels of combat. My platoon sgt. Had 6 deployments totaling 8 years just himself. Including 10 mtn div push in early Afghanistan, the 04 and 07 surges in Iraq, and late 03 outside Bagdad.
My team leaders all had 1- 2 1 year combat deployments.
Our Company Commander was on his 4th deployment with 45 months in Iraq the previous 3. He had 2 Valor medals.
That level of combat experience cannot be replicated with any other force in the world.
Within a few months my platoon from private to LT were used to firefights and could calmly work.
Aussie SF are badass I'm sure, but if it came to a normal engagement in the grape or opium fields I'd take a US engineer/ infantry/ FA/ tanker group over them.
Xavier Perry
The world likes to think its because aussies are tough and brave but really its because the mad cunts that got sent to europe were bogan as fuck.
Our first VC winner actually just didnt realise how dangerous what he was doing was because he was too bogan stupid.
Aussies will do anything if you bet a carton on it
Jaxson Mitchell
Thats a hell of a coin. Anyone worth their two cents know about gunny coins in the EOD world.
I'm a weapons specialist in the airforce and the majority of people whom I work with have done time in the sandpit. You hear of far more stories than you can remember.
I think my SGT did around 33 IEDs in about 6 months. Based out of Tarin Kowt and Kandahar province I believe. Mainly patrolish kind of work.
Yeah I am not trying to flame you yanks. Its just we may have a few hundred in our special forces so we go out of our way to be the best.
I won't pretend to know exactly why our guys are so favored. I just know our guys have literally no care for their own safety so they tend to make the best soldiers. Which funnily enough results in almost no casualties. I think we may of only have 1-2 in all of Iraq/Afgan and that was only due to IEDs. Its a self fulfilling prophecy to say the least.
Ethan Wood
That's very good. I disarmed 37 IEDs total, mostly with the arm of the buffalo, some with the Talon robot, and one manually. That was 12 months though and we were providing increased mobility on a MSR (main supply route). Biggest I disarmed was a 1200lb tunnel buried. 30 yellow jugs of HME.
I got hit by 3 IEDs (15 lb, 60 lb, 240 lb), a 60mm mortar (impact 5m away) and a bullet off my Kevlar (helmet) and took an early retirement from the army. Migraines randomly since that 60 pounder.
Wouldn't change anything, Ida stayed in and went to Selection though.

Lucas Garcia
what year were they letting you play with ied's?
Sebastian Cox
Jan 2010- Jan 2011. Why?
Oliver Brown
i was there in 12'. i don't remember specifics about sizes and types that you were allowed to fuck with. i know you impatient fucks didn't want to call eod and thought you could figure it all out on your own, just digging and spraying the area with water or whatever. i don't understand why you were allowed to do anything with your buffalo if you were supported by an eod team. i never had to do route clearance though, fuck that.
Ayden Ward
I'm tempted to dump some pics for Xmas. Tough to not doxx myself though, I'm on mobile and can't edit shit.
Brody Brown
Fuck with? No limit. Blow in place? 50 lb.
We had EOD with us 99% of the time so the wait was getting permission from the BSO and unit commander.
I hear you man. That was an air blower, not water. I was the guy who ran it.
They took so long because all it takes is one time not being thorough.... Then your unit or another takes a big strike. Arm operator always found out about it because we logged 10- dig everywhere we dug.
We were split, mounted with all the tools, then dismounted with a Vallon.
Ramadan 2010 we were in TICs 28/30 days to give an idea.
Your MOS/location?
John Ward
i was eod. what you're claiming sounds strange but meh. i saw some dumb shit over there.
