I worked with the Aussies in Nam and between the Aussies and the ROKS from Korea, a Marine could not have a better friend. They sure had pretty nurses too. LOL

And the R&R in Sydney was the BEST!

Semper Fi,

Hey, Mohammed! I come from a land down under

"G'day Aladdin. Didja know we Aussies have as many expressions for vomiting as Eskimos do for snow? 'technicolor yawn, chuffing, driving the porcelain bus, talking to the toilet, hurling, tossing one's cookies, ralphing, projectile exclamations' well, you get the point. Now point me to a billabong, mate."

No caption, just prayers for their safety. One other thing, Random, I would put Australia shoulder to shoulder with the Brits. And like the Brits the Aussies have always been there for us. They are both allies that would make any nation proud to have. :>)

I served in Korea with a bunch of ANZAC's and later was in POW camp with some...don't knock these guys as they are some of the best fighters and "Mates" in the world. They are not like the Brits or Canadians, they will stick with you.

"...and the ROKS from Korea..." - kellynla

And those ROKs are some tough SOB's aren't they? I had a buddy that ended up in the same in-country hospital ward as a group of them when he served a tour over there. He said they wanted to fight so badly that they would beat the crap out of each other just to stay toughened up for when they got out of the hospital.

I questioned how much he had enhanced his story - until the first time I worked with some of them. The ones I dealt with reminded me of an Asian version of the Tasmanian Devil from the Warner Bros. cartoons. Tough as HE77 and would obliterate just about anything that stood in their way...
