Will all you people who believe in killing for killing sakes,, get out your uniforms and head for Syria or Iraq, but please take Abbott with you, beheadings are not nice but then slashing a stomach and chucking the entrails on the gound as I was taught some years ago with a bayonet, the person will be screaming as you plunge deeper and deeper and you also will be screaming in delight at your actions, that is what you were taught, how criminal when looking back on that time
So get over there gentlemen.

Ojnab, I loved your comment.

All the armchair warriors on OLO, they talk the (war) talk but they don't do the walk.

They are cowards all, brave behind their keyboards, too scared even to march, to ring their local member, to put their money where their mouth is.

Pathetic!

Coalition airstrikes don't seem to be slowing down IS's steady expansion in Iraq and Syria. It seems Western regular army boots on the ground will need to supplement Western Special Forces boots already on the ground.

If so Australia will be there.

“Militants of the Islamic State group were closing in Monday on a Kurdish area of Syria on the border with Turkey — an advance unhindered so far by U.S.-led coalition airstrikes”.

Islamic State fighters pounded the city of Kobani with mortars and artillery shells, advancing within three miles (five kilometers) of the Kurdish frontier city, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Nawaf Khalil, a Kurdish official."
