Well I never knew Australia was bombed. learn something new everyday. Too many ANZACS were killed in WW1, I guess you were dragged into it being as you were part of that fucking imperialist inbred family and their heinous empire. I would if I could get away with it shoot the whole lot of the inbred pampered parasites.( put that on fb once and the cock sucking global elite threw me in fb jail for 30 days ha! fuck them too).
"Forward!" he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
The general sat, and the lines on the map

The way the British used colonial troops (Australian and others) was pretty poor but then their command used their own troops in a similar way, although with a little more respect; for example, 20,000 casualties on the first day of the battle of the Somme Offensive (WW1) and almost 420,000 British casualties all up in the 4 months of that offensive. The waste of lives at Gallipoli (also due to British command incompetence) was attrocious also.
It's the way the British high command sent Australian troops to slaughter (with terrible tactics and on pointless diversionary missions) that the government insisted Australian troops be under direct commend of Australian Generals.
Anyway, the ANZAC legend was formed and it brought the country together with a national identity built on what those ANZAC soldiers started.
Yes indeed, the phrase Lions led by donkeys.
Churchill "master minded" the debacle of the Dardanelles saw 100's killed and he was just demoted. He ten went into WW@. Churchill was no hero, he was a war crimminal.
It's the same old story I'm afraid, and will happen again at some stage. Humans being humans.
Just finished a remarkable book
It will only happen the once
Yep, what did Einstein say? Something like, I don't know what WW3 will be fought with, but WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones.
Something like that.
Thats something like he said yes
