Australian Army Infantry The Truth

[@brcbrc1340]

From a US Army combat infantryman, R E S P E C T !!! Aussies are your ride or die type, glad they are on our side and we get along Hell yeah to every word you spoke. I hope to visit Australia one day and soak it in, all good things brother!

[@inthetrencheswithcas1762]

Mate thanks for your support and glad you found us, it has always been my pleasure to serve beside US forces in the middle east as well as compete against you lads in exchanges... I lost a street fight with a massive black marine in 1996 but I didn't back down and now it's a great story over a beer lol. Stay strong and true mate Aussies are your brothers and have proven this over the last 100 years of combat on foreign lands.. Respect to your Memorial Day...

[@ForceCo-m1y]

Australia is the last place I would visit. As a US citizen we have it made here. We have the 2nd amnendment and the bill of rights. Austrlalians habe no rights. They qre treated like criminals at every turn by their own government. The US is changing also but its still the most powerful and the greatest country in the world. I have lived in 5 countries and I wouldnt trade my life in the US for anything.

@@HougeyOz sorry Terry, but the fact that there are lower standards to begin with is proof that the Department of Defence knows full well women are not suited for the job. I can only imagine how many women would want to leave if they had to do the job for more than two years, let alone the lasting injuries they would sustain from the rigours of infantry training. How many men do you know with crook shoulders and backs?

The Aussies won, and after the war, my Grandmother came out to Australia to marry Grandad.

It’s all the same mate they all do the same thing mate and I look forward to helping you mate..

[@OllieH1608]

Hey mate, just a quick question. I want to join the ADF, and am currently an army cadet, but I have scoliosis. Do you know if that excludes me from joining? Cheers

[@thatgrunt]

As far as I am aware as long as your scoliosis doesn't make you unable to complete any of the training you are requred to do, you should be fine. I would definately talk to an ADF recruiter to clarify whether or not you can join. Good luck and remember, duty first!

[@inthetrencheswithcas1762]

Great advice cheers mate I think your spot on case by case..

When I joined up in 1987, on the first day, my section's DS, a Vietnam veteran, told us, "Get used to being cold, tired, hungry, overworked, underpaid, pissed off and far from home. If you can't enjoy your soldering, then fuck off now. Pack it in and piss off. If you want to stay, then stand bay to give 100%, all the time." He was one of the best leaders I've ever known. He was rude and loud and gave everyone a racist nickname. Mine was wog or fat boy. LOL

[@buda9564]

I would probably have joined already if we were REALLY fighting for country. These days it seems more like we are fighting for the profits of bureaucrats. If there was really a threat to Australian soil then I'd have no issue joining, but I'm not going to die or be maimed physically or mentally for anything other than a genuine threat to home and country. There hasn't been one for a very, very long time.

[@inthetrencheswithcas1762]

There is some truth in what you say I agree but I didn't enlist to fight I enlisted to serve and have been lucky to have lived an amazing life helping some in foreign lands but also living life to the fullest. We can't wait for the wolf to be at the door before we sign up or we won't ever be ready I bet you would love service more than you could imagine and i am yet to meet an ex serving member who ever regret enlisting..

[@inthetrencheswithcas1762]

Very true Alan but we have to keep the Navy honest and give a pathway to LGBT or whatever to know where they have the least chance of breaking a nail while getting the best backdrop for their romantic interests.. Flip side imagine how well soldiers would look after and stop missing home if they got everything they need from the shadows of the trenches.. Transgender are the only ones I don’t want to fight beside if they they can’t tolerate their own biological self what chance do I have of getting along with them🪖

The Australian infantry have a great reputation, well earned, but to tell the whole story you really have to tell the good with the bad. In WW2 Greece, a battalion of Australians fled their defensive positions en masse without firing a shot leaving a hole in the allies defence. This exaggerated myth of the Anzac spirit is a marketing gimmick. It's not just Australia, Every country seems to have one of their own.

Great to hear mate there is a place just for you like there has been for over 100 years, I’d just say completely drop the identity politics and indigenous privilege and just enlist in the same lane as everyone else… You can do this Michael, even if you hate school it’s your mission to stick it through to get to your goals and join the brotherhood that doesn’t care about skin colour just that you are as ready as the guy beside you to walk with purpose into the fog of war beside them..

Greg can you explain why you believe light infantry has no use considering its light infantry that holds ground

[@warspite1807]

@@inthetrencheswithcas1762 The principal future threat to AU is in the North. To do anything useful there, the infantry must be mounted, i.e. light horse (dragoons). Light infantry deployed to an archipelagic terrain are too exposed to various munitions, and they cannot lug heavy weapons with them. One has to understand the utility of various types of troops in combat and their operational setting.
