I doubt you know the real reasons behind why the Pigs weren't sent (to the Gulf). Ok, then tell me. Media reports - which included comments by the Australian Defence Association amongst others, I believe - stated that it was for this very reason, perhaps amongst others. So why weren't they sent according to you? Wasn't that because you don't send your only long-range strike asset which is irreplacable when there is already a lot of strike assets in the region. I would hate to be the aussie detachtment commander who has to report to his boss. "Sorry boss,we lost a couple of airplanes." Which could be normal in a "normal war" but means let 's say 25 % of the aussie long range strike assets. You only take that risk if you have to.
