Australia trying to do massed conventional warfare is a fucking joke, it isn't what we are good at, if we do it we will lose...
So Australia is doing mercenaries now? You know you're in a bad situation when US, UK and New Zealand citizens are being encouraged to join your defence forces.
The West has all but entered into WW3, against Russia, China, Iran et al. What's next, conscription?

Our forte was always guerilla war & counterinsurgency.
I remember reading accounts from the Viet Cong about Australian soldiers. They feared us more than the US, as we fought like they did, quietly, in small groups, ambushes and the like. The Americans they heard and smelled coming, so they could avoid or ambush.
Totally agree. I'm not at all for it, as an anarchist, but a model similar to Switzerland or Finland etc would work for us as a country with a low population. But we'd still need to fight to our strengths and talents, as you've mentioned.
