Holy fuck, how does the Australian Army even fucking function?

Holy fuck, how does the Australian Army even fucking function?
>Officers allowed to choke out Enlisted
>Enlisted allowed to smack around Officers
>Majors allowed to tell Colonels to fuck themselves and disobey direct orders
>Majors allowed to call artillery directly on one of their platoons positions
>Helicopter pilots allowed to disobey direct orders from HQ and fly their own resupply runs
>They don't even land just toss the fucking crates from 30m up
>Mix of SLRs and M16s at the section level to fuck with logistics
>All of this shit is praised as heroic
Fuck me this film opened my eyes to the bullshit meme that is the Australian Army.

>Mix of SLRs and M16s at the section level to fuck with logistics
Not a big deal, most armys of the time did this, except with smgs instead of M16s.

Is that a movie about Nationalist-Racialist freedom fighters whooping JEWestern mercenaries ass with AKs, RPGs and all-out Nationalist balls?

They had Owen guns too.
That makes 4 (four) firearms at the section level.
SLR (7.62mm)
M16 (5.56mm)
M60 (7.62mm)
Owen (9mm)

>thinking that films are accurate

Nigger

Pretty comparable to a modern platoon, with 5.56 for rifles, belted 5.56 for SAWs, belted 7.62 for m240s, green tip 7.62 for DMRs, various 40mm for launchers and 9mm for the gunners pistol.

Like yeah, I agree having multiple ammo supplies to keep track of is more complicated than a single one, but its not necessarily going to break the bank.

>officers choking out enlisted
>telling colonels to fuck off
Old school ADF before we got the softcock PC bullshit.
Remember that the digg who got choked cops it, so the only survivor of that bit of 'contact counselling' is Harry Smith, so he's admitting that was how he sorted out his diggs
>SLRs and M16s
ADF was the same mix until the F88 - 80s was SLRs for riflemen and 2IC, M16A1s for the Secco and lead scout, M16A1+203 for either the 2Scout or No1 rifleman, with an M60 for the Gunner until we got the MAG58. Pogue units the M16s would have been F1 SMGs, and the gun could be an L2A1 AR or even a L4 Bren.

= hundreds of dead gooks buried in mass pits afterwards, not some made-up seppo 'bodycount' number.

>Old school ADF before we got the softcock PC bullshit.

Idiot.

>bullshit meme that is the Australian Army

Get some Greens and black GPs time up, lid.

Based VC with nothing but antiquated small arms, primitive communications, a few mortars and supply lines composed of feet and carts defeated the Australians with their massive firepower, air cover, modern communications and supply lines composed of vehicles and helicopters.

Your grasp of history is implessive.

You realize this was pretty common in old common-wealth armies with conscription? Their informal nature is a time honored tradition.
>My father was a Captain in the SADF and one of his favorite stories involves him marching into the OPs tent and telling a Brigadier to fuck off.

He also has a story about how him and some other officers were formed into an honor guard for a ceremony and they were assigned a Sgt to drill them.
>The Sgt would beat them with his Pace-Stick if they fucked up.

Its just banter, dont get so worked up about it.

Oh the times, they are, a changin

Explains why they've been so shit since WW1, it's why we had to take over as the world's big boys.

Yes, I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact you have 10X the population, more resources, more landmass and the like.

such cope.
>10X the population
over 2 billion people in the commonwealth, 300 million in the USA
>more resources, more landmass
the British commonwealth was once 25% of the worlds land mass, america only breaks 20% if you include Canada

face it Nigel, you had all the advantages and America is still better than you.

>if you include Canada
Do you really want to though?

The commonwealth is one country?
>This another episode of "burger, lacking a basic education, has no idea what the common-wealth is"?

It was an empire of nations all reporting to English authority. Tantamount to a country.

You realise that the Empire was made up of a bunch of self governing countries, right?

Such a beautiful language... If only we could understand and translate it

Direct support from the NVA, USSR and PRC notwithstanding.

No matter, Vietnam was a long time ago. We've had time to make up since then. Vietnam is our friend, now.

i understood perhaps 90% of your post
what i gleaned was interesting though

so would that make the US a collection of states all reporting to Israeli authority...?

Yes
