Jeeze guys, settle down a little bit. I can hear you all bickering from over here in Australia.
I have 2 friends over in the Middle East, another in Afghanistan and another who is in East Timor atm. All 4 of them are in Royal Australian Army infantry positions and all of them in harms way. I'll admit that while our flag is pretty important to them, its not the be all and end all that you guys are worrying about. If anything, they view humour and the ability to occasionally laugh and unwind more important than any petty politics, due to the simple truth that bullets don't care what beliefs you have.
So if you all want to do honour to your troops or service people of any kind and give them some real support, quit the petty bullshit thats been present in this thread and give them something that will bring a genuine smile to their faces. Believe me, it'ld help the service people that are here in these forums a lot more than the majority of the posts made in this thread by certain members (Mods included) so far.
