Hell no, unless you get near Adelaide.

We have our own natural defences anyway. You can take Darwin, then travel the thousands of kilometres through the crocodiles, snakes, spiders, desert, floods and fires and if you get to Canberra, well, you have have the place.

Seriously though, there is no way I'd join the army if we invaded some other country. Invade us and I suppose I'd have to go and fight. But who's coming all the way to Australia to invade? Plus the Yanks and Brits would take care of us anyway... right... right?

UK (England) - Yes!

Although I do think they should bring back national service, round up all the hoodie street gangs, train em up and chuck them on the frontline. That would sort them out, in one way or another! Oh and the immigrants too. You want my passport? Bloody well earn it!

The majority of the members of our royal family are military trained and have fought for their country, so everyone else should be willing to do the same.

England - no! Why should I put my life on the line for Big Oil & Co?
Is Afghanistan and Iraq REALLY a threat to 'our way of life'? - Unless lack of control of another country's resources counts as a threat.

Well it never will be invaded will it? Allied with NATO and the US, who would dare and for what purpose?

For forty years 'they' tried to scare the pants off us with that fake communist threat. Now it's the fake Islamic threat.

Are you an immigrant here?

I'm not after a UAE passport, nor do I sponge off the countries resources without contributing back to it.

Neither do MOST immigrants - despite what the Daily Mail and The Sun may say.

I just noticed that.

Military trained yes, but I don't class sitting in a helicopter hundreds of miles away from the action (Prince Andrew, Falklands) as fighting for your country. And his dad, sailing around the Mediterranean during WWII, doesn't count either, as far as I'm concerned.

What was Harry's staged trip to Afghanistan all about?

It's only a good start, my friend. You should wait for Polacks, Romanian, Gypsy and Albanian very soon.

Your soccer squad has been a mix of Polacks, Turks and Germans in the equal proportion...
