You're Top Poster: #3   | Australian SAS troops faulted in Afghanistan This story from yesterdays Melbourne Herald-Sun newspaper. Aussie SAS Too Willing.jpg These troops are credited as being amongst the best special forces in the world? There will always be collateral deaths, however hosting a Taliban "conference" does not fall into that category. Bloody hell, they are also killing too many "enemy" fighters. Give me a break!

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #2 | They are the best in the world. I am biased but... Quality journalism, that. Being accused of fighting too agressively? Against an enemy that gives no quarter? Surely not! Puhlease.
