"You are or were a US Marine. Is that true?"
"Were a Marine" Once you become a US Marine...you're always a US Marine.
I'll answer your question if you'll answer mine. How did the Australian Military retaliate for the al qaeda terrorist attack in SE Asia that killed so many fo your countrymen?
~Grin~
They haven't, because the attack was not on our soil. Australian police went to Indonesia, and worked with local detectives, who arrested members of the cell who carried out the attack. Those people have made recorded confessions and face trial, where most Australians including myself hope they will receive the death penalty.
Now, answer the question.
