Answer 1

Rudd is pulling troops out of Iraq not Afghanistan... He has vowed to leave troops in Afghanistan for "as long as it takes."

Operation Catalyst currently comprises up to 1575 Australian Defence Force personnel, most of which are providing either training for the Iraqi army of defence of Australian citizens in Iraq.

Their job there could be said to be about done as they have trained to date 11,500 Iraqi Army recruits, 400 non-commissioned officers, 330 officers and 4200 specialists which far surpasses the Australian Defence Forces current commitment in terms of personnel so they have effectively more than compensated for their withdrawal.

And if Rudd is soft or whatever at least he's not an imbecile.

And as for the actual question, your friend should talk to people within his chain of command, he should try and speak to psych about his issues and see how he goes from there. The reality of the situation is though that he didn't sign up to bake cakes.

For the main area, the army and land forces many times are the main vital products for a rustic's defence. they'd pass and place their infantry, cavalry, and different supplies anyplace they want them to be. Artillery products is often used to fireside at incoming naval ships and landing crafts besides as taking photos down enemy airplane. they do no longer require air strips or landing pads like the Air tension does, that would desire to be captured and/or destroyed by ability of the enemy, making those craft ineffective. Planes do no longer shoot nicely from the floor. same is going for ships. They require ports for docks, refueling, amassing troops and fabric, and storage. those additionally may well be captured and/or destroyed by ability of the enemy. If those centers are rendered ineffective, then one's boats are the two destroyed or would be left to discover a sparkling place to the two combat or dock. There are exceptions to this, alongside with England, whilst the Royal Air tension stored Britain in international conflict II whilst the Germans have been attacking and additionally, for the period of historic past, considering they are surrounded by ability of water, their good army replaced into an powerful impediment interior the days till now planes. If a shielding stand turns into an danger to pass offensive, only a militia can effectively seize territory. A army or Air tension can vacate the area and knock out all militia workers and equipment, yet they have no ability to competently declare the territory.

Another "I want to be a soldier and take the money while the living is easy and the kicks are free!!" male!!

He volunteered to join and should have understood that he might have to deploy, he joined the military, not the staff at Disney World!!

While in he will HAVE to obey orders and regulations and face the consequences!

Where does it state that he has to go overseas and kill kids??

Seeing as the Australians have recently elected a "soft" prime-minister they will probably be pulling their troops out of Afghanistan early in the New Year so your chicken-livered friend will probably not have to deploy.

Rudd will cut and run thats his mentality, he probably will bring the troops back from East Timor as well.
