This should handle that civil war you were worried about. 

You laugh, but when the guy with a penis enlargement gets married to some rich duchess, that laugh will quickly go away.

Which clan? Some of them.... well, they're elementals weren't all that tough.

>The laugh will return when the guy realizes the duchess is a shemale.

Depends how rich the shemale is.

> Depends how rich the shemale is.

Not rich enough to pay for the penis enlargement.

What do you mean by "assets"? Perhaps this is one way of getting a larger penis.

I was expecting some information about the men and women who make up the military. Instead you have provided links about some stuff that inventors and scientists have been working on. Perhaps the companies that they work for have contracts with the military, but for me at least you are still OT.

Looks like the Canadians are dong well:

And here is a more light hearted one from New Zealand:

  What he said, plus:
You are aware that your wonderful military tech is drastically inferior to the things certain other countries have, yes? Like, for example, look at your civillian exosuit copmpared to the Japanese civillian exosuit. Now imagine what their military suit would do to yours.
And theirs would be "cloaked", yours would merely be "stealthed".

  What? You honestly think the Japanese "defense force" does not do r&d?

1: Keynesian economics!

Oh, wait, Flint's a Republican.  Plan B:

2: Military weapons have civilian applications.  The best example is that exoskeleton: definitely could be useful in civilian purposes!  Want a list?

with all the money put into military, i wonder why the education system in the stayes is second class, and the health care is like 27th overall, 1 below el salvator...

detroit has a higher infant mortality rate than all of the african countries except for three..yes you heard right.. COUNTRIES...more babies die in that city...

so why are you so proud of your military?

Best trained? Where do you get this information from?

Best equipment (after some nasty lessons were learnt about how canvas is not a very good idea for armour on humvees!) , but not best trained.

Australia has a fine navy, some new ships and fine personnel, but it is not a large Navy; no CV. The USN is as big as the next 7 Navy's combined. I think it may actually be the next 17 navys, but that sounds just way to redicoulous, so Im going to say 7. I will try to substantiate this if we get any doubters.

@twistedpuppet
Its routine for certain people to post certain things about a certain organization in this forum. Happens every so often. Always has.

@Econamatrix
How can you measure how well trained an army is? There could really be two categories: Military forces who aren't trained, and those who are. Maybe you could have levels of training, but this would only really cover those in lesser (i.e. b0rked) countries. Comparing the United States and Australian navies in 'training' is just absurd.
