Was there ever a topic here regarding why we (Aussies) picked up the Abrams over the Leopard 2? From what I read, the L2 was the cheaper and better option. I felt like the major reason we went Abrams was because the govt was trying to suck up the US.
Don't see the point in cuttin spending on defense either. If anything boosting it to enable us to better cover the northern reaches of Aus is a better way to go.
