ANZAC Day non poof version of /ausnz/ Edition
/anz/
>people unironically say Happy ANZAC day
I think I'm going to the Doctors tommorrow. AHHHHHH
What for?
The takeaway burger shops are shut cause of Anzac day. So having homemade instead.
The old depression.
Ahhhhhh yes. I'm not sure I can help with that so good luck
ReaI /ausnz/, finaIIy
I Iike anime, but I hate gays and foreigners, and it's downright fucking disgusting we can't taIk about ANZAC day, the most important pubIic hoIiday for both of us in our own fucking generaI
Good to see you aII again
I went to the dawn service in centraI AuckIand, it was reaIIy nice
It's an important year as this year is the 100th anniversary of the end of the first worId war
ANZAC day is important to New ZeaIand and AustraIia, not just because of the disproportionate Iosses we saw at GaIIipoIi reIative to head of popuIation, but aIso because they were the first major wars we participated in as nations, and thus were sort of a baptism that granted us Iegitimacy on the worId stage as more than just coIonies of His Majesty's Empire
New ZeaIand was a smaII country of onIy one miIIion peopIe, yet 120,000 servicemen were enIisted during WW1 and 100,000 of those, 1/10th the popuIation and 1/5th of the maIe popuIation, served overseas. of those, 18,000, aImost 1/5th of those who served, never returned home, and 41,000 were wounded
Iest we forget
I like this thread. Thank you for your service, fellow commonwealth brothers.
no one was stopping you from posting about ANZAC day sweetie
Good post
Bad post
go back to your containment thread
Fuck the brits for bringing us into their European wars
not talking about it with him is censorship, just ask Jow Forums
Just watching a doco on Kokoda. That campaign is just unfathomably scary. Imagine being in the jungle as a poorly trained Aussie farm kid with the thought of your nation resting on your shoulders. Out numbered and out-gunned against a battle hardened and experienced enemy looking to utterly destroy you and your country. Being in that dark, treacherous jungle with nothing but your boys and a blood thirsty enemy that could be 3m next to you is truly incomprehensible.
>/anz/
But I'm with westpac not anz
At the time I suppose we were merely an extension of Britain herself. It was the war that truly set us apart and defined us.
Yearly reminder that the 9th Division were so fucking choice that the mere sight of some captured soldiers during the battle of Tobruk turned Rommel gay.
>the mere sight of aussies turned a hard german man gay
>Have air superiority
>Well equipped
>Enemy is some starving 5'5" manlets armed with an unreliable bolt action rifle
>scary
If a war ever broke out again idk if Modern Australians could compete with the basedness of our forefathers. They truly were hard cunts.
>wife
>child
>gay
bi at most
Our forefathers were based because they mostly lived in rural areas and did manual labour, the complete opposite of modern Australians.
At the time Japan was undefeated in the Pacific theatre. It wasn't until the New Guinea campaign that Japan was dealt its first terrestrial defeat.
Good point
I made a thread on /qa/ regarding our current shitposting epidemic, feeI free to check it out and contribute
>/qa/

You fucking australian idiots.
Your country is full of arabs, pakis , niggers and chinks.
Fucking losers.
Aren't you the gay poster who IiteraIIy said you didn't care in response to New ZeaIand's most important historicaI hoIiday?
not gay but yes i dont care about anzac day, why should i? i dont agree with our military decisions, i get to see planes flying and i wear a poppy once a year thats it
>"Your country is full of arabs"
>has shitloads more arabs
>they're less educated and more violent
Why would you have an issue with anzac day?
>they didn't fire the guns or have pIanes at the AuckIand service

>i just dont give a shit about it
>IiteraIIy won't stop getting pooper peeved when we interrupt his grindr to taIk about ANZAC day
Post your hand, timestamped pIease
I suspect you're a "New New ZeaIander"
i was told not caring about anzac day made me hostile to aus/nz culture, you can keep posting about anzac day buddy
i dont have a phone and im not getting my old camera out
and i dont give a shit if you talk about anzac in ausnz either, just that you got to put up with the anime too
my relatives were all europeans who cames in the 1800s
>just that you got to put up with the anime too
no actuaIIy, I don't
thats a shame, see theres the difference one of us can ignore things we dont like
>being with an Australian bank
>not being with Kiwibank or another NZ bank that won't rape you up the ass as much
>rules regarding topic discussion
I'm pretty sure we can talk about almost anything in the /ausnz/ threads, because we are serving the thread's purpose; Australian and New Zealand posters talking to eachother
>being in pubIic banking, not private banking
nigga
Pathetic weeaboo garbage you are lad. Selfish little twat
What are you celebrating you bunch of australian and nz autists.
Your country os owned by the chinks.
Have fun being slaves to Ching Chongs.
Local dawn service was shit, as I said in the other thread. It was like a city service. There was a combined schools choir singing some shit anthemic Elton John knockoff.
When I go to a dawn service I want a quiet, solemn, reverential service, without the jingoism and tat. Save that for the mid-morning.
You're not """in""" private or public banking unless you work for the banks, you idiot.
The public banks don't fuck you up the ass as much. The private banks do, because they were developed that way to.
Your country is owned by Jews!
>nation of mixed mutts
>free citizenship if your mother has negro blood
let’s order linguini
Beersheba was a mistake.
im selfish for not caring about anzac day?
i disagree with why most of those wars were thought why would i celebrate that?
Like the yanks, our country had a problem with veterans of Vietnam getting bullied by mentally deranged hippy pacifists, and now we've got all these AJs coming back from recent conflict in the middle east and topping themselves because they thing we don't care enough about them. So we can be forgiven for being a bit touchy about it.
>japanese flag
disregarded
i never supported bullying the veterans, theyre not at fault they were just following orders for the most part
im not japanese
>I want a quiet, solemn, reverential service, without the jingoism and tat
What were you expecting, when the "between the crosses, row on row" is eventually followed by "take up our quarrel with the foe"?
Well your country is owned by the J-
>flag
...carry on.
>jingoism
you might want to look up that words meaning before you use it next time like a fool.
Good morning
That's Waitangi Day
wrong thread spain
Oh sorry
i dont mind but you should probably post it
there
Are you aware that they layed down their lives for your jap ass
Wish I could've made it to ANZAC services and pay my respect only if my Uni wasn't such a dick with assignments
I'll definitely pay a visit next year
im a kiwi
Australia best ally.
GOOD thread
fuck foreign niggers
Fuck the Turks, the Vietnamese and the Japanese.
God defend New Zealand.
:^)
Don't reply to me you unpatriotic scum
We can relate to that, sadly. We tried to stay away from both world wars but those fucking Br*ts dragged us into it. And then Fr*nce got us tangled with Vietnam
at least ww2 led to our rise to power.
You can't complain about a war that directly led to your country being the richest and most powerful in modern history.
idiot
power is a curse. once you have it you have to fight tooth and nail to keep it, and if you lose it you go to rock bottom.
>you have it you have to fight tooth and nail to keep it
i.e. be selfish, corrupt and morally bankrupt enough to exploit any country you could get your grubby little hands on.
No different to the bloody commies, but at least they had the decency to make it obvious when they did a hostile takeover of a foreign country.
exactly. and if you dont do this you collapse and turn into a drug ridden shithole with a GDP of Greece ruled by oligarchs.
at least hes patriotic
Or slide into mediocrity like the great empires of Spain, Britain or Portugal.
There is a middle ground, with the robust economy of the US and it's natural resources it would never have ended up like the USSR.
Yanks don't get to be patriotic about war crimes.
but we can?
Your country is 20% Arab let alone the fact that the majority of the remainder are brown. Your countries average IQ is 94, truly gods chosen people.
>And then Fr*nce got us tangled with Vietnam
Dont act like Eisenhower and everyone worried about muh dominoes weren't responsible
Americans are patriotic because they think bombing brown people is the moral and righteous thing to do and is actually protecting them.
I'm patriotic on ANZAC day because I appreciate the sacrifices that were made during the world wars, to be shipped off to the other side of the world to fight for king and country and defend their families and most likely die on foreign soil without a proper burial.
My grandparents fought and have told me stories of the war and I will be forever grateful for everyone who gave their lives.
thats a broad generalization, why cant yanks be proud of their ancestors who underwent the same sacrifices while ignoring the war crimes that were committed
Stop calling us Yanks, only people from New England are Yanks.
>why cant yanks be proud of their ancestors who underwent the same sacrifices while ignoring the war crimes that were committed
They can be, but most aren't.
Most are patriotic because the fetishize the modern military-industrial complex.
Would you prefer I call you a seppo?
Fuck off seppo
"no"
Anyone got any cool war stories from their families?
Apparently my great great grandfather lied about his age so he could go overseas and fight (he would have been around 50) at one point he ended up at the same hospital as his son, his real age was discovered and he was shipped back to nz after he recovered from his wounds which is a shame.
Whatever you say nigger
Yank originated in Britain to describe aII Americans
During the civiI war, confederates did not consider themseIves citizens of the US and caIIed those who were in the US, IargeIy Northerners, yanks
After the civiI war, the term remained appIicabIe to Northerners in the American cuIture, but in angIo cuIture it has aIways referred to aII Americans
My Grandfather was a pilot during the war but once when we was refueling his plane got sabotaged with I think sand in the fuel tank so he ended up crashing but survived.
He still held onto a part of the wing he picked off his crashed plane until his death 70 years later, fuck now I wonder where that part went, I fucking want it.
>the kangaroofucker is triggered
Went to a service this morning at Jervis Bay. Was very beautiful and I had an ANZAC biscuit after.
How many brown people did the British Empire kill
RIP Holden
Well Churchill starved a few million I think at the very least.
But I'm a lot more forgiving in total war than I am in a proxy war because you don't like commies.
not enough
Feels bad desu.
Posting this epic map.
>the kangaroofucker is triggered
he whistled through his remaining teeth, pouring himself a glass of cousin grandpappy's shine to purge the memory of being called a "yank".
>NZ a state of Australia
I'll fucking pass on that one mate
Awh. Why wouldn't you wanna become part of the greatest country in the Southern Hemisphere?
I'd rather have you than the fuzzy wuzzies.
>tfw Holden/Ausfag Ford are dead
At least Aussies like high displacement pushrod V8s, unlike Europoors
