Interesting history for the Aussies and Yanks in the room :)

I bumped into this on Youtube. Found it to be very interesting history (WWII era).




I suspect a people from Australia and the States are on this site, thought I would toss this fun history lesson your way

My, my, how things have not changed. I'll be the first to stir the pot and say ,, Bloody yanks should all go home and take all the fat ass aussie women with you.

Great video.

Only one culprit here. A complete lack of of cultural awareness and an overwhelming sense of smugness on one of the sides.

I leave it to you to decide which side.

I agree. This is one of my pet peeves about my fellow countrymen (and women)...... How we are so smug and look down on most (if not all) the rest of the world.

And they did indeed marry some..

I recall reading a story about this some time ago where they interviewed Brisbane women that were there at the time and they said they thought the American soldiers were polite and behaved like gentlemen whereas the Aussies were uncooth and behaved like larrikins..

You all can sod-off with your unrelenting anti-America whinging...but you won't. You're all like the chess club geeks in high school...sneering at and badmouthing the varsity quarterback just cause he's handsome and gets all the chicks.

I guess some feel better having the US as a punching bag. That's alright, we can take it.

Try turning your high powered perception inward at your own Country. I'm quite sure there's plenty of bullshit that needs fixing right in your own backyard.

Funny how the Kiwi mass shooting thread gets barely a whisper out of you lot. Had it been yet another American one, we'd be on 7 pages worth of comments by now, no doubt.

Often anti-Americanism is just a response to pathetic patriotism...
