Mate as an Australian soldier (Infantry) trust me we do not take a step back from our responsibilities in the world, in particular our SAS.
With East-Timor, Solomon Island, Fiji all in desperate trouble in our own backyard and the Japanese killing whales in Australian water which has now devoted our Navy to shadowing their boats.
Having an Australian Defence Force of a total strength of a mere 51,000 full-time active-duty personnel, we ourselves are doing our bit at this end of the world,
Let me make it very clear to you SUBMAN1; we Australians are
NOT as you say
"balling up in a don't hurt me foetal position".
You are not left to defend the world as you say again, if you think you are then get your arse down to East Timor, Solomon Island, Fiji and take over so we can kick back and drink beer and have BBQ s.
Oh by the way just so you know; I've done my part in helping the USA, I was not home from 1999 - 2003 every bloody Christmas because I was overseas on operational deployments.
PS: compare our numbers to yours; our total infantry would fit in one of your infantry brigades; factor that.
