I'm not, but as this is primarily a US board, I figure people would rather discuss US matters.  I don't think anyone cares too much about Australia.

BTW you are really obsessed with my "bad boy" moniker, does it turn you on a bit?

[Jadeveon Clowney]

Guilt. Nobody believes in these "wars". Not even the soldiers.

All other countries are fixated on the US, obsessed with us......Eager to criticize or bash the shit out of us, but once disaster hits their country, they are coming up to us with their filthy hands out in supplication.

Its like the Yankees in the World Series(no pun intended).....you either love them or you hate them, there is no in-between..but you're still gonna watch 'em.

Oh, and its not Post Traumatic Stress Disorder....it is SHELL SHOCK!!!.

Australia, huh?  That's the country whose leader wants the entire country to speak Mandarin because it is an "Asian Century."  Pussies

Australia has had several major tragedies in the last few years.  MASSIVE floods + fires this last few months devastated huge areas.  Pretty sure we haven't asked for a cent of international aid.

But my post about the suicides is not an attack on US military men, it is a sincere question on an issue  that must raise thoughts in any intelligent person - as those statistics are thru the roof.

There are many different reasons. But think of this: Gen X and Y were brought up differently,  basically our parents  didn't raise us right as a whole, so one is already effed in the head. then you go into the military which then brainwashes you, then you get sent out into a war where people are shooting at you, which then effs you up some more. They teach you how to shoot and drink, then you come home and are expected to act "normal". Well, what the hell is "normal"? Mental healthcare in the US ,ilitary is a joke, and Domestic violence is even worse---many vets take out their frustrations on their signif others---and it's a HUGE problem. Far more than the US military would like to admit.

Yes it must be hard being sent off and told to act like an alpha violent male, then come home and be told to act like a liberal emasculated pc western male.  Balancing those two would be schizophrenic in itself.

Yes I imagine you are right.

Remember a US military psychiatrist didn't want to go to war (against his fellow muslims) and shot up Fort Hood

so that tells you the extent of how effed up in the head some people are---if a Army pschiatrists shoots up where he is stationed.

[Bad Boy Dazza]

Yes also a scary example of why having people from other countries (or a generation removed) in the military is dangerous.  They are not all loyal to the US, and may have stronger loyalties to other countries.

The US needs a Foreign Legion.

For people to fight who don't give a shit what they fighting for.

Aren't the private armies the legions of the US?
There seems to be a good amount of firepower in private hands though I doubt they are as eloquently brutal as the Legion.
