"Evan Brennan" wrote in message m... "L'acrobat" wrote in message ... But they learned and improved whereas Australia did not improve much at all, save for the SAS since they embraced US style airmobility. The very low number of kills claimed by Oz infantry speaks louderthan your lame attempts at cooking up a cover story. Now it turns out that you are forced to admit that they didn't teach the Aussies how to do it, your back flip with half pike is amusing to say the least, the follow on 'but they learned and the Aussies didn't' is laughable as an attempt to retreat from your earlier gaffe. Looks like you got all excited and wet yourself over a few initial encounters of one Australian battalion and two US battalions from the 173d Airborne. I hate to ruin a surprise for you, but at peak, there was 81 US Army/USMC infantry battalions and most of them never had contact with Australian troops in the field. This will be a blow to your overinflated ego, but the US Air Cavalry accomplished more in *one summer* than the Australian Task Force did during their entire stay in Vietnam. From 1 May 1970 to 30 June 1970, elements of the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) amassed a kill ratio of 2,574 : 157 against the NVA/VC during the invasion of Cambodia. Claimed a ratio, not amassed a ratio. The US military kill claims have long been acknowledged as farce. even by the US Military. Drivel snipped. Now tell us about your military experience Yo, Trailer Park...this act is wearing thin. Then stop acting. Tell us about your military experience -- after you tell us your real name. We cannot tell if you are male or female. Based on the hissy fits you always burst into, I would guess the latter. Yawn, I note you have supplied no claims of any military experience just more of your drivel (and quite a few people on sci.military.naval know my real name). I told you about my military service, now it's your turn. put up or shut up. Tell us why your opinion on military subjects is worth anything, what have you done that gives your opinion credibility loserboy? Have you even tried to sign up? What stopped you? a. lack of guts, b. lack of brains, c. lack of education, or d. all of the above. I couldn't be bothered doing a piece by piece refutation of the rubbish you post, it's all based on what is at best your total misunderstanding of the military Everyone knows that you cannot be bothered with facts. Oh Evan, you poor sad little loser, you are the one who keeps getting caught out lying. Why don't you just go to the library and read PHANTOMS of WAR instead of continuously and baselessly denying the contents of same. I own a copy, you misquote it routinely and ignore the fact that Horners other works do not agree with your drivel, you are clearly an idiot who has fixed on some poorly selected and frequently misquoted sections of one book. Now Evan, tell us what military experience you have that makes your opinions valid, given the interesting interpretations you place on military accounts (or more accurately, deceptively selected extracts of one account) one would assume you are simply an idiot in search of a village. |
