[quote=Walther]One thing I noticed listening to soldiers of various nations is that the one thing the military don’t teach is humility.
If it is not the own platoon, company, battalion, regiment, arm of service which is the best in the world, it is one’s national military.
Your own isalways by far the best!

Correct but in the British armies case it is true. :P[/quote]

join the OZ army, join the Australian SAS, they r the best trained troops in the world, even better then the foreign legion (believe it or not)

we also have the best trained air force

1. At last report, I heard the Aussie SASR was the 4th best trained unit in the world. The British SAS was the highest

when was it that u last heard, cauz when i last heard it was the Australian SAS[/quote]

No no didnt you hear? It was Fijis special forces the’re the best in the world!!

why dont you guys post links or something to provide evidence for your claims. If you dont, your image is going to end up like Ironmans.

right sry, take no offence, i just seem to be generally pissed.[/quote]

I think it was the “7:30 Report” a couple years back. Although I didn’t praise the Aus SASR nor the RAAF as much, so I don’t see your reasoning for the backlash.[/quote]

HAHAHAHAHA yes, thats is correct, that is what i heard 2 years ago during the war on iraq during 60 minutes

[Firefly]

Although not special forces I have worked closely with the RAAF on several occassions. I wouldnt rate them better or worse than the Brits, about the same actually. Though I did find, to my surprise, that they were terribly PC. Still nice blokes though…

Anyway back to the Subject in mind 8)

Does anyone know if any aboriginals fought in the australian Army through Papa new Guinea or Europe ?
I did know that the Australian Whites did have alot of respect towards the Native black Aussies but did they let the aboriginees help through WW2 ?
If anyone has any Info. about it that’ll be great

[Minimalistix]

Aboriginals only werent allowed to join the Oz army, but it changed during ww2… they were only conscripts though and they were in there own special aboriginal units… also alot of the Aboriginals in Northern Australia had jobs to report Japanese sitings and etc in the remote areas of Northern Australia

ill get you more info soon on it

Thanks alot minimalistix mate 8) , Did they actually go into Combat?>

[Kurt_Panzer_Meyer]

Not sure if they were allowed in combat (I think the Aborigines were though), but one of the very early Army Magazines I am sure had an article on this particular subject. Not sure if I have kept them though, so I could reference you the particular issue.

IIRC, the article may have actually referred to the First World War… but it has been over 10 years since I last read that article, and may be more in line with minimalistix’s statement that the indigenous population was enlisted during the Second War only.

[Minimalistix]

when i can be bothered ill find out Jordovski

but i do know the first Japanese caught in Australia was found by a Aboriginal

[Commando_Jordovski]

My opinion is that the aboriginals shouldn’t be allowed in any kind of War, because they are native people of Australia and we shouldn’t corrupt these interesting peaceful race with man’s WAR, we already took their loved country and they are slowly dieing out…once there was millions of aboriginals…now there are only thousands.

[Kurt_Panzer_Meyer]

What if they want to fight?

[Hanz_Lutz]

@Kurt_Panzer_Meyer

What if they want to fight?

No they all been killed ,they cannot fight against army ,and indians in USA want to fight too ,in 19centry and they lose.

[Kurt_Panzer_Meyer]

Walk down Redfern in Sydney, they are alive and well, albeit living in squalid conditions. Most of the Aborigines that did die were from the common cold actually.

Yet another fair and rational answer there, I guess I’m not emigrating if you are the standard Aussie I’m going to meet.

BTW well done in the cricket!

Yeah alot of the Abo’s in Alice Springs sniff horse shoe glue and i know one down the road from me that lives in a public toilet.
I wonder if its White man that corrupted their life or their self pity, because they certainly dislike white people.
