Troop weapons first class: Howard
John Howard says the troops he has visited have never complained about their weapons.
“Their weapons are okay. In fact more than okay and I asked them that and I can tell you my experience is that if an Australian soldier’s got a gripe about something, he’ll tell you,” he said.
Yes John we believe you without a shadow of a doubt, given that your up there and personal, in the enemies face experience of soldiering fills us with confidence - after all during the Vietnam War (that other debacle where we slavishly - and dishonestly - followed Unca Sam on a comparably shonky premise) you were down there in the trenches with our lads. Oh, you weren't? Oh yes - sorry we forgotified - at that time you were far too busy making sure that the cutting edge meetings of the Young Liberals were adequately provided with scones, cucumber sandwiches, Pimms #1 and Rawleighs Ready Relief. Cheer leaders, you've got to love 'em.
“In fact it’s a great tradition of the Australian army that you seek out anybody in authority and tell him what you think and that’s exactly what they do and they’ve told me that their equipment is first class.”
We believe you Johnno, after all the lads have as many weapons of mass destruction as Brendan Nelson can knock up in his shed on lazy Sunday arvo. First class shanghais, spud guns and Collins Class yonnies and brinnies.
