You know I find it most annoying that you guys rave on about US/UK involvement in the war on Iraq but you never acknowledge Australia.
Granted Australia's role in the war is a minor one, but Australian troops are out there putting their lives on the line.

We've always honoured our part of the Anzus alliance (which New Zealand hasn't) and as far as I recall, we've supported the US in every war since and including Vietnam.

All I ask for is a little acknowledgement ! Confused

Hey, you've got it! Sorry about the oversight - I know there are lots of countries doing what they can; I just don't know all of them. I for one am appreciative of all the nations standing by the US/UK led coalition, especially those actually contributing troops like Australia, although I can't keep track of all of them. Arn't there 40-something countries in this to one degree or another?

On a personal note if I were to be recalled into the forces to go to Iraq I would go

I was recalled to active duty in Desert Storm, but I don't think the government can recall me now since my 8 year obligation has long been fulfilled. If things drag on and on and the US Army begins begging for volunteers, I might go see if they can use a 40-year-old tank crewman anyways. I'm not sure though. I have a wife and two girls that need me, and I have a happy life - I'm not going to go unless I'm sorely needed. And if we have to fight this war with our hands tied, I feel sorry for the troops who are there, but I'm not going to volunteer for THAT in any case. I want no part in a war where my role is to be a target that can't shoot back for fear of hurting the wrong person. That's why I speak so strongly against civilian lives being considered more than our own troops. That's no way to fight a war, and I don't want anybody there "fighting" that way, especially not me. ...
