Yes, a truly professional army- and the bargain that your nation won't send you into harm's way just to pad the balance sheets of oil companies and defense contractors- or corrupt politicians.

o..they still do..Have to please the Americans when they ask. But the roll we provide nowadays is behind the enemy lines not on the lines. And that takes the more elite units.
I think we woke up to being used as cannon fodder in Vietnam. Not having a "go" at the Americans here the English did the same with us in WW1 and 2.
Americans helped save our bacon in the Pacific when Japan got o so close to our shores (in bombing range of Darwin and WA). Our part time solders were fighting a slow withdrawal against massive odds and the English Govt would not release our Main Armies. We may have been a Japanese speaking nation by now if you yankies hadnt come to help. God knows most of the world was broke and short of fighting men that liberating us may have been a concern (especially for France who do tend to appreciate our solderers sacrifice on their behalf) but probably not an option.
Sake anyone?..lol

The enemy then, as now, was naked power. Today the threat comes in the form of transnational corporations who pay no taxes whenever they think they can get away with it, which is often.

And soldiers still fight and die for little more than profits.

We "yanks" thank our fucking soldiers because of the ones who died for no other reason than they believed they were protecting freedom, whether they were or weren't at the end of the day. They left their families, not because they wanted to or because they were bloodthirsty killers, but because they were told to and they were raised to believe when they were asked, they should serve. Anybody who brings politics into it has never had an innocent give his got damn life because he was asked to or felt compelled to serve. That means a lot to me personally. Fuck the politics behind it.

I didnt mean to offend. Just stating how we do things here.
And unfortunatly we should all talk about the politics involved..cause thats whats send them away and in the case of Vietnam..brought them back.

Im waiting fot this Syrian thing to really blow up..yet again American and Russia "playing" with each other in a different country.
America and China are Playing with each other in the disputed zone and no one does anything as Indonesia kills the West Papua people..

Im saddend by Australia not taking a military stand here. The Fuzzy wuzzy angels saved many an Australian solder.

I tried to pull it back. Maybe I should have left out the little hand comment.
