Good point August.

Does Australia even do war? Have they had any wars apart from the World Wars? I looked at Wikipedia but couldn't find any...

Yep as well as Korea, Afghanistan and Kuwait and Iraq. The Aussies have every reason to be proud of their war record.

You didn't try that hard did you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_Australia
We have been involved in the following military actions post WWII:

Korean War
Malayan Emergency
Indonesian-Malaysian Confrontation
Vietnam War
Gulf War 1
Gulf War 2
Afghanistan
East Timor
Plus a bunch of peacekeeping missions in places like Somalia, Solomon Islands, Cambodia and Rwanda.

No we don't do our own wars we usually join someone elses.
