1. I'm calling bullshit on what they're trying to imply. They're giving the idea that the 17th Airborne Brigade has been rotating troops through this training regularly. I might have missed it but I've only seen the occasional frontline unit go through this training. Lots of Marines but few Soldiers.
2. He can try and put on his war face but I can tell he ain't happy. Check out his death grip on dinner! A few more minutes and that snake's head is gonna pop off!!!!:))
3. Now how about we make room in the back of the base the Marines, Navy and Air Force is building in Australia (way in the back...closest to the swamp water) and stick a Reinforced Company of Paratroopers there permanently...we can rotate them in and out but eventually we can have the dream ticket (if they don't jack up the formations) of a MEU (full strength with armor) and Airborne Light Infantry along with C-130/C-17 detachment from Pope AFB to fly them around showing the flag (heck they can jump into Singapore, while we hit the beach to show what a combined Airborne, Amphibious Assault looks like...that should make the Dragon piss his pants).
Sidenote: Australia is about to become the modern day Germany and Philippines/Japan rolled into one. Military men go their single but come back with wives....Recommendation? Don't do it boys. Save your pennies and make weekend jaunts to Sydney. Paradise awaits but hurry. 5 years in and it'll be filled with graby ya catch ya bars right off base.
Historically, soldiers coming home with wives from the lands they visit is very telling. It was very common during World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Where has it not been a common trend? Iraq and Afghanistan. What does that mean exactly? I'll let you decide.
