Don't you mean won?...but least I say that we have only been established as a country for 235 short years and in those short years I can't think of ONE country who has occupied us?
Can you?
Australia on the other hand...
We saved your country's ass so please show SOME gratitude.

Yeah, you keep repeating that drivel. Unfortunately for you, most historically educated folks here laugh at your assumptions, let alone your crystal clear ingnorance.

Look....I have been to Australia....I have even been in a Bar Fight in Australia....and if it wasn't for how sharp her nails were....but that is another story. My point is that when I have been there...I have been treated with nothing but respect and Happy Faces.
When I go there it is for the purpose of two jobs...one of which is connected to the Military aspect of things but I am a "CIVILIAN". It is all right and good to have National Pride but I have been doing what I do for over 25 years and can tell you with complete certainty and experience that although the Average Aussie Soldier is Tuff and their version of our Special Forces is more than adequate....Australia is COMPLETELY dependent on the UNITED STATES for it's defense.
I am not disputing the fact that America does good things, but more times than not, it turns out #.

It is obvious to me that you have never had to sacrifice anything for the greater good. There are so many things that the U.S. does on a daily basis with the sole intent of make this a better world...such as being the single largest doner of Food, the largest Monetary Doner, Policeman of this seriously F@#%&% up World....and making sure some idiot doesn't get a Nuke and kill alot of people.
What are you implying? If you are implying what i think you are, you can get #ed.
But then again...you have your dangerous trek to the fridge and the daily find the TV remote mission.

Which is why we allowed our military to be dragged into the idiotic military actions initiated by the USA. If it weren't for the fact that you might help in the unlikely event of hostilities against us we wouldn't have a bar of it.

You allow it because you are literally Defenseless should the unlikely happen.

Just stating a fact in plain language....if one has to gather what you may or maynot have inferred.....well....then they might not undrstand what you are saying. I posted it in the simplest of terms.
Australia has no ability to defend itself from any major power....thus...the deal with the U.S.
Not much else can be inferred from that other than what the words say. Split Infinity

TextWhere was our help in WW2 then?
That was a different time....I think things would be different now. At least I hope it would. I know the U.S. has done some bad things and I am not defending that.....but please don't judge all people of a country based on what the government does. I don't hate you.
It wasn't just America that ignored our calls for help in WW2, Britain too abandoned us so they don't get much love either.
Maybe you are right though, it might be different today but I don't know.
I thought that in WW2, Britain failed to help us, so we then asked for America's help and they actually did help us out; which then resulted in the ANZUS treaty. Am I wrong on that?

Don't judge a country of people based on what you've experienced on the internet, especially xbox live
The internet brings out the worst in everyone, I played black ops recently on the PC, within 5 minutes everyone was swearing at each other in an Australian server. People's behaviour goes to crap on online games.
