Default Australians to remain in Iraq

Quote:
Iraqi security officials said about 400 Australians were headed home while the balance will remain in Iraq where they could be deployed in a security detachment in Baghdad.

When it announced its troop pullout in February, Australia said it would still have about 1,000 military personnel in and around Iraq, including a 110-strong security detachment in Baghdad.

It will also have personnel for Hercules and Orion aircraft based outside Iraq as well as a warship in the Gulf.

Because some bury reality in BS.

Some Americasn are too.

That a far cry from the Australians cut and run, lose war, and give up on Iraq. BS many are mouthing on this forum.

I simply like to make sure the Facts are known and not buried.


(It also pisses off the defeatist here which is a bonus )

If our Aussies wish to leave Iraq, that does not make them weak.

It makes them normal.

No one WANTS to leave their family, go to a far away place to get shot at or risk their lives. They do it because their country requires it of them. They volunteered to do it for their country and ultimately for their families. We're lucky enough to benefit from their courage. I commend them for their honor and integrity.
