Good going Aussies. You guys did great work with the Mike Forces in the 60's, and; we thank you. I will be thinking of you.

Australia is a great ally to us and a fierce enemy to the terrorists.

I think that Australia would be a good place to spend some tourism dollars when my son is older.

One commando's jaw was blown off...

Ooh! That'd ruin your whole day.

...another was shot in the buttocks...

Is that guy getting a medal? I have this mental image of the award ceremony turning into that scene from "Forrest Gump".

PM Howard: "Australia owes you a debt of gratitude, son. Now I understand you were wounded. Where were you hit?"

...and a Special Air Service Regiment soldier was shot in the stomach.

The round missed vital organs.

...and that man's new nickname is "Mongo".

There is no better place to do so on Planet Earth!

But swing by New Zealand, too.

Here is a shot for you, no flares, but it is time exposed.
Looks like hell raining down on you from above.
