Damn right, and they hit the targets every time. biggrin:

Just to elaborate. The Australian Navy has been involved in Operations in the Gulf ever since the MIF has been in place enforcing embargo's on Iraq. The Australian Navy Boarding Parties have boarding hundreds of ships over the last year or so, stemming the flow of funding and weapons, not to mention drugs (going out of Iraq). One of my cousins, was on the Boarding Party teams. Also our CDT boys (Clearance Diving Teams) are doing their part, disarming mines and EOD's when they come across them. CDT's are similar to SEALs in a lot of ways, and train with SEALs on a regular basis.

And yeah, our Spec Ops boys our deep in enemy territory right now, have been in about 4 firefights and killed almost every enemy they came up against. Any not killed, but wounded, were treated and told which way to go to surrender and get full medical aid. Thats Aussies for ya !! Giving everybody a chance. biggrin:

Our boys are doing everyone proud,, even the President and Donald Rumsfield(sp ?) it seems.
