He has only been a member for 3 months and already he has 48 feedback points from other members. He must be doing something right. I don’t know A330Crazy very well but his enthusiasm for the forum and discussion seem very real – at least. If most seem to like it, then leave him alone. You don’t have to read everything he says.
28 BILLION – yeah I heard about that, would that not be close to the net worth of the Phillip Morris(PM) company?
“ah….yes can I have that in small bills please”
Thing is PM will have this in the Appeals Court process for ages, and it may be AGES before the defendant sees any money, and even then that may be massively reduced in the end.

>Maybe Aussie could wait for the new generation armoured
>fighting vehicle(low profile tank chasis with very small
>turret)??
The smartest thing said in this discussion so far. The MGS program which currently involves the LAV III is – IMO – what we should be looking at in future. Not heavily armoured, but fast, very transportable, and packs the necessary firepower (105mm) if required. I just don’t believe that we NEED another large tank, esepcially if we continue to deploy to o/s operations while we under-cut our amphibious/transport capability.

Australia: The bloody pathetic dabble that is Defence procurement!!! And not to mention the sheer fear of defence budget increases, even though the need is SO obvious – its not funny! On top of that, a REAL ADF (Australian Defence Force) mission review we NEED after the 9/11 attacks, the 2000 White paper needs to be revamped – already!
I suppose on a postive note, we now have ASPI – the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. 🙂

Well consider me BACK guys; I have had a break and have decided to throw myself into the forum world again. I won’t here as often as I was before, still have things to do elsewhere – offline, but hey I think we all do.
Miss me? Yeah right sure you did!! Anyway, as for age; I am 33.
Regards, Glenn.
