So the Americans think they can come into our country and try bashing our servicemen?
They didn't try to bash your servicemen. They did bash your servicemen.
I have to admit those Australian soldiers sure can run good.
When soldiers get bored they fight. When I was in the service we used to start fights all the time but when it was over we didn't call the cops. We just bought each other beers.

I think I speak for everyone when I say we've all had enough of Crimson's nationalism and anti American rhetoric. No offense mate but this is ATS, you should really have realised by now that nationalism is the work of the El-ite. It's a control system! Just like organised religion, and just like meaningless things like television and sports, etc. They're distractions, meant to keep the populace occupied and ignorant to what is going on around them, and to what's truely important in life. Get informed, mate! Free your mind....CrimsonKapital...GET OFF YOUR KNEES!!!

Really? Brawls have been going on for generations between different units in the military. This is not news.
I wouldn't take it personally, CrimsonKapital is an anti-American Australian. Just look through his past threads and you will see a pattern of hate for America. So it just goes to prove that he would pounce on this story to further his anti-American rhetoric.
I dont take his rhetoric seriously, and neither should most people, not until he gets that monkey off his back.edit on 30-5-2012 by mileysubet because: (no reason given)
I don't hate America but I am sick of the hate that Americans give toward Australia. If you want me to stop than why don't you stop harrassing my country, why don't you leave my government be and quit involving us in your wars, instead of thanking our servicemen you try to BASH THEM!!!????

Australia didn't seem to mind when America joined the British empire fighting WW1.
If the US hadn't joined "your war" in 1941 you'd be speaking Japanese now.
Seems to me we joined the wars of the Crown lands long before Australia joined our wars.
No worries though, I have the utmost respect for Australian soldiers. Some of the scrappiest fighters to ever see combat.
Fighting in a Mickey D's though - you know that's US territory, right?

The reporter was simply trying to distinguish the two groups of fighters without calling them "black people" and raising the ire of people such as yourself who seem to see racism in every comment anyone makes about racial groups.

Aussie: I've got this major toothache and this sob needs to come out but our dental plan is terrible here.
U.S.: Well we can easily get that out for you.
Aussie: Oh ya mate, what's your plan?
U.S.: 1 simple punch bro and your problem is gone.
Aussie: Ok, but is it gonna hurt?
U.S.: Yes but stop running!
Aussie: Owie, Owie, it's gonna hurt.
U.S.: Stop running damn it, we'll get that sucker pulled out.edit on 31-5-2012 by HawkeyeNation because: (no reason given)
