Why does Australia need all this hardware?
>>59823553
Who?
>>59823553
It's important for Island Nations to have strong navies to protect their trade.
Gotta spend money to make money u feel me?
Don't have high numbers of enlisted military - compensate with better hardware than our neighbours.

Cause losing to fucking emus must have been a wake up all
>>59823553
we legit mostly use it for humanitarian reasons, helping out all our povvo neighbours when they get hit with natural disasters.
So we use it for soft power. And if we ever need it, we have the hard power right there.
>>59823553

Americans don't realise Australia helped in the Pacific because of arrogance
>Another concern was the way the Australian military was viewed by America's high command. Douglas MacArthur had already expressed a low opinion of Australian troops, who were then fighting along the Kokoda Track. Though Australia was bearing the brunt of the land war in New Guinea by itself, MacArthur would report back to the United States on "American victories", while Australian victories were communicated to the United States as "American and Allied victories". Americans' general ignorance of Australia, and American perceptions that Australians lacked a certain "get-up-and-go", also soured relations.
>Likewise Australians also looked down upon the fighting qualities of Americans; most considered the Americans an inferior fighting force who seemed all glitz and brashness. This feeling towards the Americans would be furthered during the Battle of Buna, where Australian troops bore the brunt of the fighting due to American "inactivity", and Sanananda, the final victory. Buna, the fourth major Allied victory in New Guinea, was presented not only as the first major victory but an American one. Sanananda, an Australian victory, was presented as merely a mopping-up operation. The Americans would not acknowledge that Australians won the critical battles of Milne Bay, Kokoda and Gona, were largely responsible for the victory at Buna, and were "overwhelmingly" responsible for victory at Sanananda.[7] Australians often regarded the U.S. soldiers as boasting how they, and they alone, saved Australia.

>helped
The vast effort agains the Japanese was American.
The "Help" given by the allies wasn't enough to pay attention.
Tiny population = tiny army. We need modern weapons to compensate for this.
Australia is secretly planning to take over the world.

My ass, it's a nation. New Guinea isn't australian. Therefore australia isn't a fucking continent.

Except it is, in all 5 continental models taught in the world, Australia is a continent in all of them and PNG in connected to the Australian landmass by the Sahul shelf as well as parts of Indonesia.

>Not solidifying a stronk relationship with the obvious and clear winning team
Not surprised you don't know how to do this, took you Europeans way too many wars to figure this shit out.

This fucking gear. Homo as fuck. Will never get approved for distribution. And if it does, no one will use it. It'll be a wasted purchase and left in the q store where it belongs.
Noone asked for it, no one wants it, and no one needs it. ;lqwejghv.qiwel. crusty old WO2's that haven't gone minimi/maximi shooting in years approved this nonsense
can't stop boats without boat stopping hardware
