"Their declared aim is to disrupt the flow of beer supplies by drinking it faster than it can be produced."

Conscription, or are there enough volunteers?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2542013/Two-British-men-court-charged-planning-travel-Syria-engage-acts-terrorism.htmlThis link shows other country,s are breeding grounds for fighters in a war other than the ones the west gave refuge, from war in.
CG 1000 my words to jayb came from another here some time ago leveling that charge and seemed they knew each other.

Yet another link this time to a different country.
Seems the refugee bit is questionable.
Here two 15 year old,s return or try to Syria to fight not escape wars.

Belly: CG 1000 my words to jayb came from another here some time ago levelling that charge and seemed they knew each other.

Not unless CG1000 was in Bien Hoa in 65/66, but I think he came back to Australia when they were transferred to Bien Hoa in 65.

It took some time to find it on your link, but you are right, Belly. France & Britain also supply lots of fighters. I see they have done something about it though. They are cancelling their duel passports which means, don't come back.

Now that what we have to do here. Firstly encourage them to go, not stop them from going. Any funny business here & they get shipped there weather they like it or not. I'd start with that big fat bloke that on TV all the time. He seams to cause a lot of the trouble between the different Islamic Sects.

Jayb,
In mid June (65) the orders for my mob (173rd Air) were cut, by Westmoreland I think, to deploy to Bien Hoa after some self harm incident that almost crippled the base.
The 173rd was a fully operational unit that could operate independently if required but needed an air base to jump out off.
The deployment gave them a base and gave the base a much needed protection umbrella.
My job in clearance/intel kept me based in Saigon a piss and fart away from the base if needed.

Dear jayb,

You laughingly wrote;

“At least these young Jews do their service in a Governments legitimate Army & receive proper instruction, nor religious brainwashing. When they come back they fit into normal Australian society.”

Or perhaps you were serious, often hard to tell.

From this I can only conclude that you would be okay with young Syrians going back to serve in the Syrian government Army where they can 'receive proper instruction, not religious instruction' so that 'when they come back they will be able to fit into normal Australian society'.

Well I suppose chemical weapons are not that much of a stretch from phosphorous rounds being delivered into civilian areas. Both are considered war crimes.

And you do realise don't you that Israel is a religious state?

Well if you are going to be consistent then I suppose I can only applaud the stance even if I don't agree with it.
