we hada game we used to play with the new Marines in the unit..


went something like this ..


"here in the feild .. we have weapons that they do not tell you about in Grunt School... Nuclear Bullets!!!"

"Nuclear Bullets!!!???"

(see Sarge load a Tracer Round into his SAW and aim at a 55 gallon drum 200 yards downrange that has been filled halfway with JP4 Jet Fuel and the lid placed loosely over the drum...)

You need to compare %GDP spend on defence also.

Thats the whole point. We want an effective defence force but won't pay for it. And we don't fuckin need it. If anyone doesn't like my comments I will explain them if you want.

I for one disagree with that.

I don't mind paying for a decent defence force... I remember doing many jobs that we were equiped properly to do...

[doc]

I for one disagree with that.

What do you disagree with ?

[Delerium]

Reading your post sounds like you dont beleive that NZ needs an effective defence force, and I disagree with that statement. If I have just read that incorrectly then my bad.

[Timber020]

GDP of NZ about 100 billion

GDP of sweden about 350 billion

Being near main defense suppliers in Europe with the usual discounts and the Russians on the doorstep, I can see how they have such a big defence force.

Although in WW2 they were quite happy to help the germans and british lighten there purses by selling them materials. Another neutral nation that let its neighbours get fucked while it got rich. Nice.

No we CAN'T afford an effective defence force. We can't protect our coastline, so how can we protect ourselves against a marine invasion. Once they are here we can't afford an effective defence force and we have no effective air power . The answer my friend in ANZUS. That alliance has made some bad calls recently. But you can't pick the right choice all the time. Its about principles and sticking by them during the difficult times.You have to make a stand for what you believe. Friggen hell if ANZAC being Gallipoli was redone in the present day it would never of happened . It's all about boundaries like drawing a line in the sand like the "Supernanny does" without the naughty room.
