If you are scared of bullets

I think one was a medic, and I'm pretty sure that person didn't actually join to shoot people. I could be wrong, I'm just relating what a friend of theirs has said to me this morning.

That may be true, but I think you'll also find a medics job is to help the injured, no matter where or when. So they know well they could be called upon to provide assistance right in the middle of a firefight.

Also, they make it very clear during the Oath/Affirmation during AARC that you are giving your life to your country, that you will fight and you will die for the rest of us. Nobody thinks it will happen to them, but they all certainly know it's possible.

RIP. Lest we forget.

They don't always live peacefully in smaller numbers. Don't forget about the London bombings a few years back. When they live in non Muslim majority countries, they import their extremist beliefs with them and demand that their religion is respected. Just look at the video below. An Islamic takeover of Europe WILL happen if the problem isn't addressed immediately. I guarantee it.

Is your name by any chance Breivik? Don't forget the London bombings but don't jump to conclusions about them either. There are large state funded organizations that have staged false flag attacks of this nature and will no doubt do so again in order to influence the gullible. What state funded organizations? Look for who's cause is served and who gains and you will see.

I wanted to join the army in 73 but they had only just got over Vietnam and didn't need any more canon fodder,so they said bugger off.

Quite glad they did now since I've seen what a .308 does to the average soft skin.

Wish the yanks would just nuke that place,,in the long run it would save millions,,,both types.

...im sure if the yanks glassed over the middle east and cleared it of the muslim brothers, a little spot called Indonesia which has even more muslims than the Middle East would get twitchy...they dont seem to like us western cunts either...much...

Indonesia certainly is the country with the largest number of terrorists. The fact that so many of them travel to Australia is frightening to say the least.

Wotchu talkin' 'bout Willis..? People don't over-react..!

I RESENT THAT .....




oh wait ...

It will please the powers that be in the USA that all the billions of $ they spend on spreading lies, propaganda and dis-information are actually working.

If you want to get rid of terror and terrorists, then you must eradicate the root causes. War is one of them, injustice another, and so is the spread of lies and dis-information. Fighting a war on terror is like fighting fire by pouring gasoline on it.

You missed Religion, Money, Power, Poverty, Revenge & Food. People have & will continue to fight for all these things.

You are making it sound like every Muslim is a terrorist , when it fact the vast majority of muslims are peaceful & have no wish to be involved in terror.

A friend of mine is an Army chaplain who did a tour of Afghanistan a year or so back. He told me quite a lot about what the job was over there. I think our soldiers know exactly what they are doing, and I don't think it has anything to do with fighting someone else's dirty war. It has a lot more to do with attempting to put some infrastructure back into a country that has just been absolutely devastated by years of war. They are the ones on the ground seeing the effects of violence, meeting, getting to know and to trying to help the locals who so badly need it. I think maybe they feel the risk is worth it for the sake of the people they are trying to help.

Pretty noble if you ask me.

you'd have to be american (ignorant) to believe that. hilarious. i suppose 9/11 was the work of these "terrorists" too?

(what about building 7?)


as for the whys and wherefores, yes the NZ army is mostly used for clean-up, "peace-keeping" and "provincial reconstruction"
but really, the best thing any army could do for that country is fuck right off.

Medics get weapons training too ... they need to be able to defend themselves.

Few join the army to shoot people. But they ALL know they may have to. Usually more die in training ... than on active service (a war zone) ... but they are all well aware they may be killed.

I thought people join the army for some IRL Call of Duty lulz.

Years of war ?

Yeah like about a thousand years if not more.

Honestly,,do you really think a hand full of kiwi's is going to change anything over there that the terrorists,freedom fighters,or what ever you want to call them are not going to trash the minite the "good guys" finally do leave.

Come on man, these people can not be beaten by conventional methods and no amount of good intensions will change that.

Noble my arse,it's nothing but well meaning people throwing their lives away for another people that are already lost.

Afghanistan's resources could make it the richest mining region on earth. In 2010, Pentagon officials and American geologists discovered about $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan.

Noble war indeed.
