Is Mise,
Paul 1405's ability & mentality would make him utterly unsuitable even just for basic cannon fodder let alone a moving target.
He could possibly make a decoy because if a sniper got him into his sight he'd very likely crap himself laughing.

Hi Issy,

What you highlight is the fact Australia is weak militarily. I agree we are not and cannot be an assertive power in our region in that way. It's foolhardy for us to rely on a alliance with the Americans as our first line of defence. All that has been achieved thus far from our cozy relationship there is Australians being killed in America's aggressive wars, and having the rest of the world view us as a trained monkey of the United States.

I believe Australia should take a non-aligned position, simmilar to that of New Zealand where both sides of politics there agree on a neutral strategy for home defence. We can still remain in the Western sphere but exerting a higher degree of independence in international affairs.

Hi Indy,

Once the Seniors National Service is in full swing you will be taught the finer art of aggressive warfare using your walking sticks and zimmer frames as lethal weapons against those AK-47's of the enermy. I can picture it now, private Indy 2nd class, alone charging an enermy machine gun nest armed with nothing more than his walking stick!

Paul,
A non-alined position is only possible when one has a strong army, otherwise the country is a walkover.

when one has a strong army
Is Mise,
We have an Army of drug abusers, tattooed from head to toes adorned with studs & horns & dyed eyeballs. One would think that'd be enough to scare any approaching enemy into retreating !

Is Mise- With respect. Supporting fathers would go a long way to training the young how to fight and shoot- resilience and self sufficiency. The Chinese talk about Yin and Yang- we have too much 'Yin'- our boys have been trained to be Lotus Blossum's rather than Dragons. Yin is the receptive and Yang the active principle. It describes how obviously opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they may give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another.

Similarly for Jung's Archetypes.

Also Sanguine vs Choleric vs Melancholic vs Phlegmatic

By the way coil gun's are impressive and simple devices- not just for weaponry- thanks for bringing them up. While I don't own side or long arms myself there needs to be a balance in the hierarchy of power.
