You Countries got your Independence because of your Soldiers Heroics in the World Wars, And quite rightly as well. The Canadians always fought alongside the British, if it wasn't for some of there Soldiers the Germans would have blocked our Supply Line in World War 1 which was Calais I think. That would have meant the End of the War for us and it wouldn't take the Germans long to take out those Surrender Monkeys who are France
 .We were supporting the Belgians at the time and that is the only reason we went into World War 1 when the Germans jumped the Border into Belgium. Those Canadian Soldiers held a Massive German Detachment if my memory serves me alright and that when we eventually got the Reinforcements to them they had nearly repelled the Germans back.

The 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry were awarded this citation in the Korean war, at Kapyong. The unit, with 800 soldiers, held the line as American forces and other UN forces withdrew. They were attacked by an estimated 10,000 Chinese soldiers. One Australian unit, the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment, was awarded this battle honour. It earned it at the same Battle of Kapyong as the PPCLI, though on a different part of the front.

Good things, you can't beat the Unbelievable Courage, Bravery and Training of our Soldiers.
Here is 1 a bit more recent earlier this year where a British Convoy of 50 Soldiers fought off 150 Taliban Soldiers when they got ambushed - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article3511901.ece 28 of them were awarded Military Crosses and 5 Conspicuous Gallantry Crosses which are second only to the Victoria Cross.

Well we could look over our Great Military History all day but we could change Topic a bit now
.Maybe about our Prime Ministers or Political matters, When are your next Elections for your Leaders and Do you vote? I can vote for the First time when our Next Election in the UK comes and expect a New Government Party as well because the current Party ratings are dive bombing. Also something for our Springbok Friends - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/7579978.stm

Just recently in Afgastastan, the Talabian were on Patrol.
just as they came to a dune hill they heard an Aussie Voice, "Don't come any closer" The Leader sent five of his best men to see what it was. Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang Bang, then nothing! Next thing an Aussie Voice, "Don't come any closer" The Leader gets Furious and sends 500 over the Dune, after heaps of Gunfire one of his men crawls back over the Dune and gasps, "It is an Ambush, there are two of them!" -------------------- It is not what you are, just what you have been, that is what you get Judged at.

 So we're talking Jokes now Ok this 1 is borderline but on the Good Side I think.One morning, a man approached the first tee, only to find another guy approaching from the other side. They began talking and decided to play 9 holes together. After teeing off, they set off down the fairway, continuing their chat. "What do you do?" the first man asked. "I'm a salesman. What about you?" "I'm a hitman for the mob," replied the second man. The hitman noticed that the 1st guy started getting a little nervous and continued, "Yeah, I'm the highest paid guy in the business. I'm the best." He stopped, sat down his bag of clubs, and pulled out a fancy, high powered rifle that was loaded with all types of scopes and sights. He then asked the man where he lived. Still nervous the man replied, "In a subdivision just west of here." The hitman placed the gun against his shoulder, faced west, peered into a scope and asked "What color roof ya' got?" "Gray." Then he asked "What color siding?" "Yellow." "You got a silver Toyota?" "Yeah," replied the first man who was now completely amazed by the accuracy of the hitman's equipment. "That's my wife's car." "That your red pickup next to it?" Looking baffled the man asked if he could look through the scope. Looking through the sights, he said "Hell. That's my buddy Jeff's truck. What the hell is he doing there if I'm..?" The hitman looked through the scope once more. "Your wife a blond and your buddy got black hair?" The man nodded. "Well, I don't know how to tell you, but I think you've got a problem. They're going at it like a couple of teenagers in there." said the hitman. "Problem??! THEY'VE got the problem! I want you to shoot both of them! Right now!" The hitman paused and said, "Sure. But it'll cost you. Like I said, I'm the best. I get paid $5,000 per shot." "I don't care! Just do it! I want you to shoot her right in the head, and shoot him in the balls." The hitman agreed, turned, and took firing position. He carefully stared into the sights, taking careful aim. He then said, "You know what buddy, this is your lucky day. I think I can save you $5,000!" Very Good 1 if you haven't heard it before .-------------------- Murphy's Law: If Anything Can Go Wrong, It Will, Often At The Worst Possible Time.

It is borderline, but as you say a good one. A Ship sank in the Pacific Ocean and the survivours, a Pom, an Aussie, a Springbok and a Kiwi were adrift in a Row Boat for days. After one day the Pom pulls out a Bottle of Scotch takes four swallows and throws the Bottle over board. "Why did you do that for," all the others asked. "Plenty more of that where I come from," was the answer. Two days later the Springbok pulls out a stick of Beef Jerkie, takes a couple of bites and throws it overboard. "Why did you do that for," all the others asked. "Plenty more of that where I come from," was the answer. For three days the Aussie brooded, then threw the Kiwi overboard!
