Oh, so the Brits killed some of their own while they slaughtered your boys as well. I'm sure that takes some of the sting out of allowing your boys to be senselessly slaughtered at the whim of English politicians and incompetent generals.

Lies? Not at all. The Aussie officers allowed the foreign lord, a British General and his staff, to repeatedly send the boys in their command to senseless, needless death...and did not stop it.

And what you call going bravely to their death, in the finest Enlish tradition, most of us would call foolish. As our General Patton said, we don't want our troops to die for their country (or in your case for your lord's country), we want the other poor SOB to die for theirs. But I'm glad the English can count on their colonials to provide blood for their follies whenever they demand.

You still haven't shared why Aussies continue to allow their English lords to just dissolve your elected government whenever they want to.

No, the Turks slaughtered both.

Another lie. The soldiers followed their orders. You might as well say the American soldiers who hit omaha Beach or Tarawa were sent to 'senseless, needless death.' But you wouldn't dare, because you'd get booted from FR in a moment. Slandering your allies' dead is okay, especially from behind the cover of your computer monitor.

...And what you call going bravely to their death, in the finest Enlish tradition, most of us would call foolish...

I've never used any such expression. And what's with the 'most of us'? In five-and-a-half years on FR I've never seen one poster denigrate our military dead, in this way. Matter of fact I can only think of you and one other poster who'd be low enough to do something like that.

...you still haven't shared why Aussies continue to allow their English lords to just dissolve your elected government whenever they want to...

Thanks for the invitation, but I think I've called you on enough lies, already. You don't have to open another of your fresh steaming boxes.
