if i was from Afghanistan i certainly would be wanting to migrate too, to get away from all that D.U dust and radiation.[[sorry flysurfer]

Perth, probably not the best though, Lancelin U.S military base testing D.U weapons i have heard.

petermac33: don't get the apology... i agree... hell i don't even know what job they need to get done in Afghanistan... i thought we were there to pillage and make a pipe line.

hired killers the lot of 'em.

you can say what you like about Iraq, but the taliban were arseholes and the mujeheddin weren't any better.

That said, it was illegal to fly a kite in Afganistan under the taliban

what is the job their doing?

is it to introduce democracy?

because a 'democratic' uneducated islamic population will just vote for Sharia law..

which is basically the same as mumbo as the taliban.. stonings, honour killings and fatwas..

according to council laws, its illegal to fly a kite in our local park...

maybe we need a foriegn peace keeping 'force' to come and bomb us to the siht, kill us to by the millions, stick their nose in where it don't belong and tell us how to live and 'liberate' us so we can fly kites in our local parks

I cant believe you blokes The Doctor and the other numbskull , your comments make me sick.Just after another Aussie soldier dies today.

I wonder how many Iraqies or Afghans died when the troops where not their.If it wasnt for the Military and those hired killers you wouldnt be enjoying the life you do today.

with respect to those who have died, thats utter clap trap.

i remember talking at length with returned servicemen in my younger days, my neighbour was a rat of tobruk, i helped him organise his memoirs for his family so his story would never be lost, this lead me to doing the same for a number of other vets, the one thing everyone of them had in common and agreed upon was the desperate realisation of the utter pointlessness of it all and the very real understanding that what they were doing when they got there had nothing to do with the story they were sold to get them there in the first place.

no aussie soldiers would die if they were'nt there to begin with.

how many afghanies died today...?

how many iraqies...?


is it really any different because of a flag on a uniform...?

seeing one life worth than another because of ridiculous jingoistic patriotism makes me sick.

What makes a lot of people sick, is when those who wouldn't have a clue, sound off crap like this, indicating its the front line diggers decision to be there following directives from his Country of origin. Uninformed prattle like this, directed at the common solder and his current predicament makes those who have gone before them sick.
Wake up and smell the roses sunshine. Aim your disquiet at the people who placed them in this position

don't get me wrong , I understand military insubordination would probably carry a penalty that would make killing babies seem tame by comparison and the level of mind control progaming and brain washing on the front line grunt would be on the level of something most none of us could imagine.

this isn't like the turn of last century when a notice was pinned to local post office, a headline screamed or the radio crackled to roust up the chaps for queen and country.

conscription is not a reality in this country (yet)

the grunt still chose to be a grunt.

the jingoistic patriotism comes from joe public who read the tabloids, watch today tonight and beat their chest scared their right to live within the most taxed and over governed corporate nation on earth is going to be taken away from them by a bunch of towel headed gun crazy women hating camel herders on the other side of the world.

replace guns with shovels, hand tools and service and skills training and i'm all for the military.

Next your going to tell me , 9/11 ,bali , madrid where all inside jobs , the world will end in 2012 and their are aliens amongst us.

Chinese coal miner.. they are the real heros

I find the whole war saga thing a bit disturbing.

America storms Iraq and afghanistan under the guise of 'terrorists' and shocking human right violations, yet it stands by and does nothing for Burmese people who have suffered apalling human right violations for decades or even Zimbabwians under the Mugabe regime.

Conflict in the middle East is driven by the Wests need for oil. It is nieve at best to believe that America is defending human right violations in the East - if anything i believe they are the perpetrators.

That said i sympathise with the young soilders (and their families waiting at home) sent to Afghanistan to fight for well i'm still unsure.

err doctor, all service pesonel receive skills training, thats why so many "grunts" sign up,, so they can get paid training and qualifications...

your just trying to bait me arent you??? your not thick.

so what is your contribution? Because I know the Samaritans help line is desperate for volunteers to take the night shift on their call line..put that voice to use mate.

You appear to be making an ad hominem error. What the Doc does and what his contribution may be is irrelevant to the argument he makes.

I cannot believe that anyone actually thinks that the troops are there for altruisitic reasons. Wake up guys.

The foreign presence in Afghanistan, Iraq and anywhere else is for commercial reasons and commercial reasons only. If you do not believe that then you have been sold a lemon.
