Defence plan to scrap F-111s

Oh ****. This is like trying to explain quantum physics to monkeys.
(Actually, I suspect that would be easier).

Actually Infantry is over sucribed, the school of cool is not that
full
these days cause there is only limited postions in the Battalions. How
often
r the Battalions being deployed? all the bloody time, how often r the
F111s
being deployed?

Obviously the finer points of Strategy are lost on you. Infantry
battalions
(especially those a "light" as ours) don't make much of a strategic
deterrent. And F111s aren't suited to peace-keeping.


again the gate guard shows his ignorance.

Seeing as I'm not a gate guard, who is being ignorant here?


The size of the Army force in Aus significantly raises the bar as to what
constitutes an effective invasion force, which consequently raises the
logistic requirements to invade Aust significantly.

That's right, you two-dimensional spastic. Australia's interests aren't
affected unless enemy troops lodge on our shore. I'd expect a lowly infantry
Private (Rtd) to think in such constrained terms. Clearly, this topic is way
out of your ability to comprehend.


Perhaps if you didn't use words that you don't understand (like
'strategy'),
you would not keep making such a fool of yourself?

Perhaps if you just spared us your "insights" and stuck to what you know
(whatever the **** that is) you wouldn't make a fool of YOURself.


Long range strike is a very useful capability for Aust,

Especially when it makes potential aggressor decide not to be aggressive in
the first place. Its little wonder you think the way you do. Its that low
level army training you've been exposed to. Sadly,, a great many army
officers display the same "understanding" until they've done a Joint Warfare
Course and learn that defending Australia doesn't start at the low-tide
mark.


but it doesn't
neccessarily need to be delivered by F-111

The only correct thing you've said all day.

and it is not the be all and end
all of deterrent.

No **** Private (Rtd) L'abortion?
