Why do Australian troops have to clean up America's mess?

Question

Oh spare me. We could have defended ourselfs agianst the Japanese.

So you helped us with the Japanese. Thanks for that. Does that mean we have to follow you to every war from now on? I don't think its fair to involve Aussie's when we didn't start it.

You bash us at every moment calling us Mexican's with mobile phones and alot of American's sit there and slag brits. See it on TV all the time yet the brits are there fighting your war!.

Try and see it from our side. Why should we help someone who wants to see us as lower intellectuals because we needed help with the defence of our country.

Answer 1

Because you are not asking that question in Japanese.

Answer 2

Do you have any sense of history at all? Do you not realize that the U.S. did not create all that is bad in the world?

And speaking of cleaning up people's messes, do you know who it was that was responsible for the drawn up borders in places like the Middle East and Africa, particularly Iraq? It was not the U.S. Read up on it. If anyone is cleaning up a mess it's the U.S.(That's not to say I was for us going there, but I've had it with TWENTYSOMETHING Europeans and Canadians attacking the Americans at every turn, not here you come.

You are doing your country a disservice by initiating exchanges like this between two countries that have never had anything but respect for each other. I've NEVER heard an American say a single bad thing about Australia, until you intiated this name calling session.

Grow up a little before you start spouting off.

Answer 3

I actually didn't start life as an American, and I lived in Australia for quite a while (most of my life was spent in the Commonwealth).

Australia didn't have the naval forces back in the Second World War capable of repulsing the Japanese on their own. If the Japanese didn't have the Americans and the Chinese to contend with, it would be safe to say that within a decade of Pearl Harbor, the Japanese would have occupied every coastal city in Australia. This isn't to say that Australia would have ended up a Japanese colony like Korea or Taiwan, but it would have been very ugly for the Australians, especially with all their heavy industry overrun, to force the Japanese out.

I've worked alongside Australian troops and have nothing but the greatest of respect for them. In case you forgot, Australians have been targeted by Muslim extremists repeatedly, whether it's immigrant populations (i.e. Lebanese) that refuse to assimilate properly, or in attacks such as the deadly one in Bali.

If you take a vocal minority of idiot slagging Australians as evidence that every American is worthless, you either need to broaden your horizons or turn your television off.

Answer 4

Um, Austrailia is one of the original members of the coalition. The Australian government supported the Iraq invasion and contributed troops to it from the get go. So, don't blame the US. If you don't like to war, try to figure out why your leaders do.

Answer 5

Where are you getting your info? If your leaders are sending your military to fight the war on terror then thats there call. and to fighting the japs well you where next in line. What part of cleaning up after us are you talking about? There are more americans dieing then any other countries forces except those of the Iraq's and afgans

Answer 6

What was americas answer to a few planes dropping some bombs on pearl harbour,,,,,
Dropping two attomic bombs on nagasaki and hiroshiema and killing millions.
Look at vietnam, what was the point of that war, Even the american president does not Know, yet Aussie's were kiiled in action for what?
If i was prime minister of Australia, Aussie tropus would all be bought home, the free trade agreement would be torn up and America would be told if it wants our help in future it will have to pay up in advance in cold hard cash or they can clean up there own mess!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

ehh??

Oh i get it.... you would rather wait until there is a terrorist attck in australia, and then you would have reason to go fight them on thier own soil instead of at home..... right?'?

¿but why would someone attack australia?

it doesn´t matter who, where or what you are.... all that matter´s is what your not.... and if you´re not a extreme jihadist mahumad luving nut-job..... you´re on the list of people to kill.....

you think if these extremest only hated westerners that they´d be killing eachother every day in iraq.?

Answer 8

Wow, you are really an angry person!!! It's ok to be labeled house boys, picking up after our troops should make you feel priviligeded. Don't take it so hard, we do appreciate it...don't forget to take out the trash.

Answer 9

Gee, that's funny, considering that Aussies might be speaking Japanese today if it weren't for the American military.

Answer 10

They never have before. Thanks for not writing in Japanese. Clean up is what happens after the real work is done.

Answer 11

Because sweeping and dusting is all they're really good for.

I'm a US Marine, I never bashed the Austrailians but I'm going to now.
