I am half Texan, half Australian/British - my mother and father met in
England and migrated to Australia. I just happen to be able to speak
French, thanks to one very old French grandmother (who currently lives
in New Orleans with my cousin, her grand-daughter.)

Then according to the "one drop" rule, that still makes you a ****ty
little Frenchman!

Heh.

I live in Australia, which is certainly not a little country and at the
moment has a much higher standard of living than the US. I served in the
Australian Military - Navy, not Army - and spent nearly three years in
and out of Vietnam. I am British and Australian educated, and have lived
in Canada, Africa - North & South, as well as the Middle East and
Northern Europe. I have been stationed in those places. I have a pretty
damn good idea of how the world regards the US.

No, you don't. You only have a very good idea of how other commie
pinkos feel about the U.S., because if you talked this way to normal
people, you'd spend your entire life in a full body cast.

And in case you've forgotten (or you never knew), over 60,000
Australians fought in Vietnam, alongside Americans. Yes, I made
friends with many of them, and they loved Americans. And boy could
they drink! We loved the Aussies, too. Australians have fought
alongside Americans in many, many wars and conflicts. I also visited
Australia during the America's Cup in Perth, and every single
Australian I met along the way loved Americans. Many of them wanted to
move here. But then, they were normal Australians, not the commie
pinko variety you represent.

So I'm not going to hold it against the rest of Australia, just
because you happen to be Australian. We have no shortage of commie
pinko loons ourselves, so....

PS: Without America, and the U.S. Marines, you might be speaking
Japanese today. You were in no position to defend Australia from the
Japs while your boys were off defending Britain in WWII. So we
defended your country for you. Your own PM begged us to help prevent a
Japanese invasion of Australia, and we did just that. You can look it
up.
