As an Australian who is 44 years old and in no way fit for service, I am enlisting with the reserve unit here.
It's nothing like full military service but it does teach how to use basic weapons, mechanics and logistics.
If America does what we're all thinking they're going to do then Australia will possibly come under threat from china (and possibly America)
As much as I hate the idea, one thing is true: every 100 years or so we need to fight for our freedom. Some people have never stopped and others like myself have been incredibly lucky but unfortunately, it looks like volunteering is gonna be the only way forward if we want to have a future without the American hegemony
i appreciate you - also australian… fuck all this comment noise… i like our country the way it is and so do most aussies - the economic system is entirely irrelevant
it’s wholly ironic that there’s someone arguing that aussies are fascists when they’re trying to say their way is the only way and force their beliefs on you
Our country could be much better but I fear it's about to get much worse.
absolutely! there’s so many things we could do better, but i think we’re doing pretty well in the grand scheme of things
