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 is ruled by Britain. Britain is ruled by America. Australians, please don't complain. It's simpler than it looks. You claim they came to your country, no, they rule your country. You can't make decisions without noticing America first

No no no, you are right. I'll ring up Obama right away and tell him to bring the boys home and send them to their rooms.
Sorry about all the trouble.
I'll be writing personal apologies to all your servicemen, so be sure to check the mail!

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?
Oh look, a moderator engaging in "Anti-Australian" discussions...
Don't start with that bull#...please. Australia was more than capable of defending itself, especially if an invasion were to occur. Hell, we were the first force to defeat Japan in a major battle, the first force to repel the Nazis on land. FFS, give credit where it is due! We had already won the battle for Australia by the time the US came parading down here on their high horse.
Scrappiest? What do you mean? The disorganised term, or the determined term? if it is the former you can get lost. Australia has, for the most part been a professional force for many, many years, more so than what can be said about the US Military, especially in it's current state (with the pissing on dead bodies, and Quran burnings).
If your post was serious (disregarding the last part) then i have lost respect for you, both, as a member of ATS and as a moderator. You should be displaying the upsides to ATS, not reveling in your arrogance and bias against other countries/forces.edit on 31-5-2012 by daaskapital because: sp

I would adivise that ATS not listen to boot lickers like you. Australians like you are the ones giving us a bad name. Do you speak for Australia? Apologist.

Oh, so I guess you have elected yourself as the spokesman for the majority?? Dude, your hatred towards EVERYONE just amazes me! Have you EVER has a nice thing to say about anyone? Don't be mad at all Americans. Do you really think Americans have anything to do with what our government does?? I can understand you being upset with the U.S. putting a base in your country. If you are so upset, why don't you tell me what you have done to complain to your government for allowing it in the first place?? I see you always supporting OWS, well why don't you start your own in Australia? Or is bashing others who don't hold the same negative attitude as yourself make you feel better? But to call someone a boot licker because they speak their mind, (as we all know that you do) really points out your agenda! You can either agree to disagree, but name calling isn't going to solve anything, except becoming a pawn in the same game that you proclaim to hate!
You do not read all my posts.
And maybe you should take your own advice.
And I am not mad at all Americans. You think you know me from reading a couple posts? I have American friend in my life and on ATS.
You are being ludicrous
I am done now, if you want to slam me go right ahead. But I will let you know up front, I will not continue in your negative rants.

Yes, both WW1 and WW2 were"your wars" before it was America's.
Britain declared war on Sept 3, 1939 I believe and fyi Australia was at that time not even independent, not having ratified the Staute of Westiminster until 1942. They made it retroactive to '39.
At the time Britain declared war Australia was still a Dominion land under the English crown.
So yes, WW2 was "Australia's war" before it was America's.
Maybe Japan wouldn't have successfully invaded, we'll never know but the odds were long against you.
It is a fact that US warships were the only in thing left in the water between the Japanese and Australia after the fall of Singapore.
I have nothing but respect for Australia and I fail to see why you think I was somehow attacking you or your country.
Maybe it's you that need to do some reading and perhaps tone down your responses at other members.edit on 31-5-2012 by Asktheanimals because: corrections
The rapid Allied defeat in the Pacific caused many Australians to fear that the Japanese would invade the Australian mainland. While elements of the Imperial Japanese Navy proposed this in early 1942, it was judged to be impossible by the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters, which instead adopted a strategy of isolating Australia from the United States by capturing New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Fiji, Samoa, and New Caledonia.
