I love that those rules apply in every army around the world. If I can wax all bullshitty philosophical, I reckon I've got more in common with, say a Czech/Russian/German/whatever soldier than with an Australian politician. Advice for ultra-jubes? Most of it has been put here, but if I can...

I have never laughed as loud as I have when you claimed that playing video games gives you insight into combat. That is... I mean... look at it, look at your post and then tell me you don't think that that is a rediculous thing to say. Courage is not posting in a forum, it is just not, there...

Okay, without going into the actual beliefs of any of the parties involved, Radical Feminism (as used by the comic) is a term used essentially solely within feminism circles. Radical Feminism,(as used by society as a whole) is used much more widely. Both of these terms can coexist 90%...

Pretty much, yeah. But then, violence is actually a lot more complicated than people think. It kind of annoys me that, while people won't watch Jurassic park and say 'I know how to clone a dinosaur', they will watch Rambo, or Swat or something and think that they are now experts in the...

The main reason for this is that firing a weapon alters the situation, you have moved from a situation in which there is either non-lethal force or the threat of force into a situation where lethal force is being used. Now I don't know about you lot, but I'm no psychic, so I don't know if the...

see then, as a fellow member of the brotherhood of land forces I would naturally play that off as a humorous juxtaposition between the indisputably superior land forces (as an Aussie, I don't get involved in the USARMY vs USMC pissing match)and something soft and frolicky. Contrast this with the...

And I'm telling you that there is fuck all that they can do, I am telling you that you do not seem to understand what workplaces are like.

Then mate, I don't mean to slap you down here, but if you are unemployed, maybe you shouldn't be harping on people who work not working hard enough.

Sorry, mate, but your page says that you are just turning 18 yeah? (congrats, have a draught for me btw) I know that you are not gonna like hearing this, but 18 is not the time to be chastising the rest of the workforce for not working hard enough. Out of curiosity, what is it that you do for...

Yeah, in 'Straya it isn't so much of an issue due to our kick arse employment environment. However, due to cultural osmosis from our yank buddies, we think it is a requirement. It is not. That being said, I always tip at restaurants because, well I got money for everything that I want, so why...

do understand what being arrested is? Do you know what a trial is? Hint mate, you ain't going to no camp. Worst comes to worst, you get asked a few questions (as the idiot in the article was) and get released. If you decide to shoot at the police to avoid being asked questions, well let me just...

Here's the thing, if he had looked at the footage of the chopper attack and gone, 'that's not okay' then I could see where he was coming from while still disagreeing. But then he released thousands upon thousands of irrelevant files. No way did he check through all of them, no way did he...

You're right, your poorly punctuated, poorly thought out, totally ignorant, completely divorced from reality and almost comically over-generalised caricature of an opinion has proven that not only are you smarter than all of the people I work with and all of the people that they work with, but...

Speaking from experience, they are kinda like the spoiled kids who, instead of going camping, put up a poster of a tree and then tell everyone how they are basically special forces. Also, in my country, all three services get paid pretty much the same, its just in terms of treatment that the...

Hmmm... you may have a point there mate, honestly, I'm Australian and we don't have a coast guard as such, I mean there is the Border protection guys, but they don't even pretend to be military. Alls I know is that when all three services of the ADF get together, the soldier and the sailors...
