we may have only sent over 2000 troops, but they sure as hell are a fine 2000!!
divers have been clearing underwater bombs from the port uhm quasar, our airforce has gotten involved in the last few days, and we can only imagine the intelligence missions they've been sent on that we won't about until after its all over.
i saw something the other day that put a lump in my throat ...
the day the war started i was driving through the city, there is a memorial statue for our anzac soldiers, and the base was lined with fresh flowers, bunches and bunches of them piled up on top of each other and people were actually standing around it and reading the inscription on the statue.
April 25th is anzac day here in oz, and I bet this will be one of the biggest years ever where people attend a parade or a service to honor those who died last time, and any time before.
The polls have swung around in the last week, and our nation is prouder of our soldiers (both past and present) than the media & peace protestors claim. I can't wait for the 25th of april, so that instead of seeing rude inappropriate graffiti and signs of hatred everywhere in my very own street, I can see proud shoulders and chests in uniforms and medals and australian flags flying in the wind.
and if I so much as SEE a peace banner i'll ........ :grrr:
