ANZAC Day Thread
Tuesday is ANZAC Day (April 25th) which commemorates the landing in 1915 by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli. It is Australia's national day for remembering our war dead, wounded, and war veterans, and their families

If you or a family member are "On Parade" on Tuesday and not in uniform, a useful dress and bearing guide from @MHHVic here Image
For #AnzacDay, an Australian tradition is the making of "Anzac Biscuits". The Anzac Biscuit is hardy, it is practical, it goes well with any hot brew, esp Tea, and, has become, since the Great War, the sustenance of a free people. Recipe here awm.gov.au/articles/encyc… Image

Good morning all, especially to any 3rd Bn, Royal Australian Regiment, and 2nd Bn, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, veterans who today are celebrating their ancestral heroic valour at the Battle of Kapyong in the Korean War.

Good morning all on this #AnzacDay when Australians remember all who served Australia, the families of our killed & wounded, on the anniversary of the day the 1st Australian Imperial Force landed at Gallipoli in 1915. It has been commemorated ever since.
"Lest We Forget" Image
A very good #AnzacDay to all. Image

Retirement will be a luxury that occurred in a brief historic period of high birth rates where workers could support retirees .... hard to have retirements with QE, money printing, and, especially, low birth rates.
Sorry but anyone who thinks what is happening in France with riots over a minor upwards revision of pension ages is not coming to every western society is kidding themselves… Right politics that made it harder not easier for larger families are their own worst enemies
Likewise western military establishments will be very hard to maintain in societies where birth rates are so low … the devising of foreign legions and Wagner groups in all but name - however well disguised by law - are as much the likely Western future absent action as the past

Twenty years after the Iraq War started & ten years after the arming of salafist jihadis in Syria, it is good that justice has finally caught up with an outlaw US president.

Oh.
Genuinely intrigued by the new movement in Left political if not yet legal circles - which we have seen here - that a trial is where an accused proves their innocence & not where the state must discharge its burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt Image
A very good reason for monarchy & prosecutions in the name of the monarch - and especially having career not elected prosecutors forming a view of the evidence - is to avoid the current circuses in the US re Trump and the Biden family.

I will .... need more swords here.
But, for an opening salvo ....
1/ operational level of war was destroyed by modern communications
2/ logisticians are everything
3/ moving from long-used ammunition calibres esp 5.56 is idiotic given massive costs/disruptions & few benefits
4/ Clausewitz is under-rated
5/ most of the senior officers from WW2 were actually better in most respects than the ones we have now
6/ war is won by 80% solutions
7/ given manpower issues, conscription is more likely than not to return in the West

8/ Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig did as good a job as anyone would have done in circumstances of the British armies on the Western front
9/ Montgomery's intent for Market Garden was right esp in the context of late 1944 & what was happening in Benelux

This is how the Bailout begins ....
"If you do not bailout X, employees are not paid"
Here we go ..... that destroyed community in Ohio should say they now "identify" as an insolvent bank in California

Anyone who lived through 2008-2009 has seen the Bailout script before ... You have no excuse for being fooled, again ... "Yes, unless we bailout this bank, we will be deprived of the next cat video app, and then Xi invades Taiwan"

Overwhelming majority of people are tolerant/do not care about people’s sexual orientations. But those wanting to wage a “wear the ribbon” culture war esp in NRL are trying to impose their culture on a large Christian esp Pasifika playing group. The NRL clubs get this it seems
Would add that the average football club or church is a lot more diverse in every sense than the ABC or the political class …
One of the many quite disgusting aspects of the Manly fiasco last year was the media demanding Manly - which sprang the gay pride jersey on its playing group - demanding objecting Pasifika players be sacked, knowing these players often supported large extended families

The Canadians and the Americans are our fellow English speaking, federations, on the massive scale .... the Canadians kept the Crown and also speak French .... the Americans kept some of the common law and speak a species of English Image
Australia viewed differently .... Image
