Starting point is 00:00:00 I don't feel like I can be anything more than this I don't really want to be anything more than this I just wanna be whatever you want me to be I don't wanna have a soul I don't know what I am but I want you to show me I don't wanna have the capacity to feel lonely I don't want you to just try me so I'll feel better I don't want to leave this moment forever
Starting point is 00:00:35 I don't want to leave this world with you I want to become something better with you I want to pop our bodies into broken shells I want to lose ourselves forever I put it in my mouth Hey everyone, welcome back to KitBag Conversations This week we're joined by Cody again And a very very special guest, the dirtiest of Dingo's
Starting point is 00:01:04 Dingo, how are you? Hey man, how you going? So for everybody, Dingo is... The guys are gonna laugh at it, the girls are gonna be like I bet he's super hot but they don't know what I'm looking at So it's a mirror, it's a mirror, that's how hot it is Hair comes to the same way, mustache It's the bizarro, Cody
Starting point is 00:01:30 Don't go on those We were talking about... Don't go lazy, go lazy, just do the copy and paste I don't know, what in Australia, what in the US? That's pretty much it They'll never find each other, the internet They'll be like, no... So your page is mostly human
Starting point is 00:01:53 And I don't think anybody understands that human Is basically just talking to people Getting them to talk about stuff And tell you dirty little secrets But you have to be an analyst, one, smart And two, you have to be able to talk to people And those two things don't fucking go together So explain how somebody who is interested in intelligence
Starting point is 00:02:15 And bringing this into your life How do they come out of their mother's house And talk to people? To add on to that for the listeners Intelligence analysts are usually socially reported And don't know how to talk to people It's like, how do you get this guy to be a human To get someone to tell him his dirty little secrets
Starting point is 00:02:36 When he doesn't even know how to talk to a girl who's drunk You're like, alright, come on So, human is the oldest form It's one of the oldest professions besides prostitution As soon as people could bang, they were banging As soon as people could talk and get that leverage over someone else They started doing that So, yeah, human is a funny one
Starting point is 00:03:01 Because you have to be really good at talking Getting people to like you, build that rapport Which a lot of people can't do, naturally And I'm just a big shit hogger from way back No trouble making friends But on the flip side, I was a combat poor dude And then I was injured a few times So I went to intelligence analysts
Starting point is 00:03:23 Changed my MOS in your equivalent And became an analyst And I was an analyst for a year And I was at the worst fucking analyst And I was like, what is this mean? I was flipping out And I think I ended past the course Because I had that combat experience
Starting point is 00:03:38 This is what a choke point This is where I would lay an ID And help dudes play in operations So one of my friends He was a human dude This is a way cooler job Do not wear a uniform Do you want to go out for coffee
Starting point is 00:03:55 And just talk shit He was like, yeah, that's a really great job And then I applied for the course and got the course But, you know, military, human Strategic level, human All have different sort of approaches And sort of stuff they want to answer So they are refined
Starting point is 00:04:13 So they receive a difference So in my sense, in the military perspective It was probably mostly tactical And operational human intelligence Like, where's the bomb? Who's this dude? Where did he live? Kind of stuff as opposed to like
Starting point is 00:04:27 This is how the government thinks about Australia Sort of stuff And then all the human instructed for a bit as well And I failed so many people Because like, you know, we get this scenario Where someone's crying And you're like, oh, that is really bad Kind of reminded me of that meme
Starting point is 00:04:45 Where it's like, oh, I just said to your boyfriend What are you doing this Friday? It's, you know, to be honest Like, in Australia, we open it up It's not just intelligence Cool people like anyone can apply and do it In the military Also, this is, so you get that
Starting point is 00:05:02 Big, wide, cool people that apply So it's like, does it make sense? No, dude, it makes better sense It's the same thing here It's the same thing here Well, I mean, the same thing on Oregon You go to explain them Yeah, for the Marines
Starting point is 00:05:18 So you can't enlist straight into the Marine Corps To be at humans Or you have to be at least an E-5 Or a sergeant And so at that point But they open the pool for everybody Where it's like, you could be an intelligence analyst You could be a grunts
Starting point is 00:05:30 Or you could be an avionics mechanic You could just go into human intelligence But that's what they like Is you got this wide pool of people Who go through that rigorous selection process And they get into humans And they go, I think it's like nine months or something But like, once they get into the Marine Corps
Starting point is 00:05:44 They're like, you're good Like, you're set forever You never wear camis again You're set But yeah, it definitely makes sense To have that wide pool It's like, yeah, I mean We're just not going to take anybody
Starting point is 00:05:54 To go talk to a drunk girl at a bar We're just going to have the guys Who actually know what they're doing We're going to have the guys with the ribs Not the Army Dude, not the Army They take them fresh off the street Like, oh, you want to be a human
Starting point is 00:06:06 Or go in there And then you're like dealing with a kid Who like, tucks his shirt into his underwear And is like, I'm going to talk to terrorists Networks Yeah Dude, you can't even talk to like Another human being
Starting point is 00:06:18 And it'll make you so fucking Because like the Marines And you guys sound like you have higher quality personnel We don't It's just like We're just throwing spaghetti at the wall And hoping it sticks So like
Starting point is 00:06:30 Not to like tell the same story a hundred times But when like I met Matt I'm like, holy shit It's an intel analyst That doesn't just breathe through his mouth Like if you wanted to kill Half of the U.S. Army Intelligence personnel
Starting point is 00:06:42 Just be like, all right Breathe through your nose And your nose only Like half of them would Seriously though Oh, man And so like That's another thing is like
Starting point is 00:06:58 You guys don't have as many people In your military No No I was just pretty small Pretty modest in comparison And then like Thinking about our capability
Starting point is 00:07:08 Is even smaller again And that's why I'm like I don't want to divulge too much Because you can easily tie back Hey, that's that piece of shit that's I know that guy Well, that's the guy Yeah, like that guy's so fucking hot
Starting point is 00:07:21 Whatever they think of me Probably not the latter But it's a really small community And then there's And then there's A lot of burnout as well Because especially when like Afghan was at its peak
Starting point is 00:07:31 Dudes were doing You know, six months on Six months off Six months on Because we didn't want to Put crap through the training cycle And then get to operations And then absolutely fuck it
Starting point is 00:07:41 You know what I mean So So it's just It's been personal And you know With human intelligence If you're talking to someone You might have really good rapport
Starting point is 00:07:50 Build it really up And then your replacement comes And then you think you're a good operator But the guy just doesn't click So it's just one of those things And that's one of the downsides Of human intelligence It's so subjective
Starting point is 00:08:00 And so personality based You know What works one day Might not work the next day And you think about The cultural side as well Especially in the Middle East You know
Starting point is 00:08:11 They fucking love me Because you know With a tan I could be one of their homeboys So they really like that And you know Patriarchal societies Are you going to get a female
Starting point is 00:08:20 To replace you You could But you might not Be as effective as You know As you could You know what I mean There's no way to put
Starting point is 00:08:28 Our views on that You know what I mean I do have I do have a question on that So like coming from the American standpoint It's very much like a strategic focus Like we have
Starting point is 00:08:38 Strategic focus on Iraq Strategic focus on Afghanistan But talking to someone like Canadians or yourself Or New Zealanders It's like Oh we have one very very Small problem set
Starting point is 00:08:47 Like that's ours Like no one tells us that That's ours So how does that work Do you mingle with like The Americans Or is that just your Sandbox
Starting point is 00:08:58 Like for example You know In Afghanistan We'll give an old province And it's like This is your province This is your baby
Starting point is 00:09:06 You work with that And obviously we need to We're a bunch of Poor people And it was like Hey America Can we have some of your Helicopters please
Starting point is 00:09:14 Can we have some of your M777 Please And then Because we've got that stuff But if we send it Then we'll have nothing That's fine
Starting point is 00:09:22 Or patrol too Like Like Stalingrad Like I had my stire And then the guy next to me Is carrying three magazines And he's like Bye bye bro
Starting point is 00:09:30 You just take my raffle Okay For the motherland I thought that bad But Yeah like Yeah we We
Starting point is 00:09:38 Heavily involved With the 5R community You know we Take New Zealand Who we consider like Our little brother along And stuff as well Whether they want to or not
Starting point is 00:09:48 Like you're gonna come with us bro And we do a lot of Training exercises with them And US as well So I've had exposure to You know Conventional US Army
Starting point is 00:09:56 Human operators Some of their Special Enforcers Guys who You know from Unconventional also Has a human element to it And then sort of the more Like strategic organizations as well
Starting point is 00:10:07 But not so much Because you know They're focused on you know You know Strategic You know Objectives We're more the tactical
Starting point is 00:10:15 Operational So there is a crossover Like sometimes We might pick up some Strategic reporting Sort of thing No It's so weird
Starting point is 00:10:24 To hear you say Like you're borrowing Because it's like When it comes to like Because I worked with the Australians Like I was under an Australian Commander
Starting point is 00:10:32 For six months Like the general The G3 And his Exo All Australian Colonel And generals And so it's like
Starting point is 00:10:40 We respected the hell out of them So it wasn't like You're borrowing It's like I think we'll piss Some fans off But it's like You know in like
Starting point is 00:10:48 The Hungarians of NATO Can we Hell Can we do this It's like Yeah Here's a hand receipt And I'm going to be watching you
Starting point is 00:10:56 And I'm going to tie it down To your belt And then bring it Right back But it's It's so shit Because like When the Australians
Starting point is 00:11:04 And the New Zealand guys Were hanging with us Were like Oh you want a cup You want to You want to come Hang out in the helicopters You want to ride
Starting point is 00:11:12 You want to do this Like come on And then still Half our shit Would go missing We're like The Australian guys Leaving like
Starting point is 00:11:20 With one of our hottest chicks And like all our magazines And some sappy plates Like get the fuck away Like no that's our brother Okay he could do that It's cheeky and fun But if you do it
Starting point is 00:11:29 It's gross Like We had an American analyst I think he was from 205 Attached to our Team in Iraq And we corrupted that poor kid He was a specialist
Starting point is 00:11:43 He was a really cool guy And he was like By the end of it He was like Can I say the C-bomb On your show? It's a cultural appropriation You can't say it
Starting point is 00:11:53 You can Oh nice We thought he'd say Can't The way Australians say It's kind of like Like K-A-R-N-C Like can't
Starting point is 00:12:03 Like you can't But when the Americans say It's so edgy Like you really emphasize the P Anyway so we corrupted this poor boy He was from California He was a really nice guy
Starting point is 00:12:14 And by the end of it He did Nine months with us So he did like Three months The rotation for us For six months with us And he was kind of like
Starting point is 00:12:23 Out Out L.O. to To the U.S. And he went back To his unit For like some training Or whatever it is Just for the day
Starting point is 00:12:32 Or overseas And he came back And he goes I just got charged I said the C-bomb In front of my S2 And she didn't like it And
Starting point is 00:12:40 I just got in A week of my pay I'm so sorry Like Anyone in trouble Because he replaces American flag with Australian flag
Starting point is 00:12:50 And he can go up Now like You fucking turncoat That's the You know You expect the beauty Of my fucking English
Starting point is 00:12:58 I'm dead Dude that's That is No because like For So like Cultural Thing
Starting point is 00:13:06 Like American women Like the C Oh Saying the C Word to an American woman It's going to It's It's go time
Starting point is 00:13:14 It's It's go time It's instant Like okay We're fighting Like But you guys Say it all the time
Starting point is 00:13:22 And like as bros We understand like You know It's like Fuck you Fuck that This is shit And then you guys
Starting point is 00:13:30 Throw in the cunt And it's like Okay whatever But like If I If you'd have sent me that back Because I was An S2
Starting point is 00:13:38 I was a captain And I Killed Like There's so many There's so many levels Of cunt Like
Starting point is 00:13:47 There's a saying in Australia That you call your mate Cunts and cunts mate So It's like Being a shit cunt Is like You don't want to be a shit cunt
Starting point is 00:13:55 It's like a bad thing It's like Oh you know You're a good cunt Like oh yeah Who's a good cunt Because he gave me this Like I'm not a good cunt
Starting point is 00:14:03 And then this is like You stub your toe On the corner You're like Cunt Fuck But it's like You know
Starting point is 00:14:11 I mean Women don't really say that word It's kind of like a naughty word But I always try and encourage My wife to say And she refuses to say it She won't say it
Starting point is 00:14:19 I'll give you $100 I'll give you a background It's like flat out I will not say it But Oh man One thing I do I'll go ahead man
Starting point is 00:14:32 I was almost going to Derail the entire conversation To something more serious Please Please Yeah so I think one Thing that's really funny
Starting point is 00:14:41 Is when people talk about Like the invasion of Iraq And Afghanistan They usually talk about America number one The number two the English But you're like Oh yeah
Starting point is 00:14:49 Australia secured Almost every single airfield That we didn't They were like They did A lot of work And everyone just Kind of like
Starting point is 00:14:57 Forgets that they were there And so when it comes to Like everyone says You know Go fuck the French Whatever Yeah they were there In 91
Starting point is 00:15:05 They weren't there in 03 But the Australians Kind of did a lot of work Especially like The Australians They were They were there They were the third guy there
Starting point is 00:15:13 They were the third guy Like The third The third like the mind's eye They were like Especially you know Invasion of Iraq Or even like
Starting point is 00:15:22 Early Afghanistan days as well In the yesterday Played huge roles supporting You know U.S. special forces operations Like there's so many books out there And I probably won't do it justice Because
Starting point is 00:15:31 I was never a special boy But The you know The long range reconnaissance That sort of The intelligence reporting on Like we're being loud And was
Starting point is 00:15:40 Let's try to find During the During the clearance Clarence Stuff like that We were kind of like Forgotten like Hey man even in World War II
Starting point is 00:15:48 Australia was in the Pacific We were We sent out like All our experienced soldiers Went to North Africa And then we were like Oh fuck Japan's here bro
Starting point is 00:15:56 So we sent all like Yeah Hey man You know Here's two weeks training How to use the bolt action Good luck son When they're
Starting point is 00:16:04 While we're trying to get Regular backing There's so many good stories In Australian soldiers Fighting Huffingtonie Seoul and islands Like you just don't really
Starting point is 00:16:12 Hear that And that was one of the worst Theaters You know to fight in Like In the Japanese Were absolute Ruthless bastards too
Starting point is 00:16:20 During that During that war as well But like you know Hey we're good now We're friends now man I I I guess
Starting point is 00:16:28 I was thinking in my head I was like it's weird how the Because we want to do The 5.5 podcast But it's funny how It's like The New Zealand guys Seem to be like more British
Starting point is 00:16:39 Like they tend to Tend to be more well mannered Tend to be More Delegate Same as the Canadians They're kind of They're like the middle ground
Starting point is 00:16:48 But the minute the United States and the Aussies get together They're like Dude we just become best friends Like It's like the 5.5 community It's like
Starting point is 00:16:56 Alright America You're on the left And Australia's over on the Right Because if you two sit together There's going to be a Fucking problem And every time I've been
Starting point is 00:17:05 Worked with them Like you said Like it's It's weird that nobody talks About you guys But then when we do get together It's like a fucking Banana
Starting point is 00:17:13 Fest Like I know the Navy Has that thing And the Marines Like all of them are like Please God Send me to Australia I would do
Starting point is 00:17:21 Anything I want Yeah The Darwin Rotational The Darwin Rotational Force Yeah that's the Like the old Like when you're in boot camp

Starting point is 00:17:38 With their phone number Onto the ships Because And the stigma was Australian men don't Understand what foreplay is They're like Americans do
Starting point is 00:17:46 What's that No but it's And our The American women Want Australian men So it's just like We're kind of like High five

Starting point is 00:21:45 Fuck you And I was like There it is There's a chance To reverse the wall Like You know Australians charge the model
Starting point is 00:21:53 Themselves Of the British Army You know They make the officers They're probably officers And you know They're Lissett But at the time
Starting point is 00:22:01 It's going to change Australian officers Are a bit more relaxed And like You know You don't have a bit of Bance with the guys as well But as soon as they try
Starting point is 00:22:09 For like that British officer mentality It's like Yeah Like that's No There's a sergeant We're pulling a sergeant
Starting point is 00:22:17 Like you did that again Fuck you You hit it Like There's a chance I'm like that But um Kind of like the E5, E6 equivalent

Starting point is 00:23:57 Like because the enlisted Will beat the shit out of you On your birthday Yeah On like Any promotion event Like catch you in the hall Like nothing
Starting point is 00:24:08 Enlisted love nothing more Than beating the shit Out of their officers In the US Army It's like a past tradition Just like Catching the lieutenant In the open
Starting point is 00:24:16 Like a little pig Scared little pig It's not my story But Oh yeah It's not my story But It's not my story
Starting point is 00:24:26 But I remember in 2-6 Like Six Reg It was like golf company Or something The sergeant in the shop Was giving Like he was giving a brief Or something
Starting point is 00:24:34 The lieutenant just wasn't having it He's like No I don't like the format Or something And they were getting in an argument So the sergeant took his blouse off He's like We doing this
Starting point is 00:24:42 The lieutenant's like So the lieutenant's like Sure And this sergeant Beat the fuck out of him The lieutenant came back in And the Lance Corporals were like Don't tell me what to do
Starting point is 00:24:52 Yeah Yeah Wip it out So funny Bring the rumors out We're doing this I think it has a lot to do though With like
Starting point is 00:25:07 Historical context Of it Like you were saying Like New Guinea And rough fighting The Japanese And it's the same thing For like the American Army
Starting point is 00:25:15 Like how we reformed Like the American Revolution The Indian Wars Like it's just It's fucking chaos Like if your officer dies And you have
Starting point is 00:25:23 Like if you're the British Army And your officer dies It's like Oh shit we gotta go home But like in New Guinea In all the Boer Wars Where the
Starting point is 00:25:31 The Anzacs fought It's like Yeah the officer's gonna Fucking die We expect that Like we have To do without him It's an urge
Starting point is 00:25:42 Come on sir Get up front and lead us Dude Dude even Chesty Poehler Like Chesty Poehler In a Marine Corps interview Was like
Starting point is 00:25:50 I had the highest casualty Rate in officers It was the greatest day Of my life And I fell down I was like What the fuck bro No there's the
Starting point is 00:25:58 There's all those old stories About like the French And Indian War About the Like Iroquois What not With the French Attacking the British
Starting point is 00:26:07 And they would kill the officer Immediately The grunts just didn't know What to do It just got slaughtered They're like Well I wasn't told to shoot back They just get hacked to pieces
Starting point is 00:26:15 But then they try that again With the Americans They're like They just keep coming I wasn't listening to him anyway I'm shooting anyway I want to get around Yeah
Starting point is 00:26:25 It's like Well you think like Australian culture We don't have that Real distinct Like the upper class Middle class Low class
Starting point is 00:26:33 We're kind of like Just one big shit class And Out officers Are pretty much A guy that you'd go to School with You know what I mean
Starting point is 00:26:41 Like you'd go to do And come out As a lieutenant And it's like Hey I remember that guy from rugby We're in the British circles You know that Most officers are highly educated
Starting point is 00:26:49 Got really good schools They've got you know Family Family money Not all the cases We're talking you know Like generically and historically But that's all the cases
Starting point is 00:26:57 So we've never had Like a lot of officers are usually Like farmers Or just like Big boys It's just like I want to punch I want to get tricked by the recruiters
Starting point is 00:27:05 Like hey you're going to be an officer Like we need you You're going to be an officer I guess I will But you look at the infantry You know cavalry Engineer officers They're usually like
Starting point is 00:27:14 That's the top percentages That come out of our Officer school At the top Top students You're going to get their pick Infantry for example And so they're usually like
Starting point is 00:27:22 Fit guys and girls Really motivated Really smart So you know You probably won't get it As much there Like when I was in that camp We out
Starting point is 00:27:31 Patrol base Minerals Infantry captain It was a great dude man Like he was little It's like You call him Like the battle dwarf
Starting point is 00:27:39 Because he was so little But he was like Fucking Like he was a really good dude Yeah It makes sense I mean like I think it's like
Starting point is 00:27:49 The vast majority of our Officers come from ROTC Which is just You know Four years college It's a program and then The whole time you're competing Like you're competing
Starting point is 00:27:57 Against each other You're competing In like your school And then every other school And then West Point obviously Gets active duty But it's kind of like that
Starting point is 00:28:06 It's kind of weird That you said that That your guys are Do you have a military category Or no Do they just go Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:28:14 So I understand Royal military college Is like the Officer school It's kind of like the Sandhurst agreement But not as nice It's in our capital
Starting point is 00:28:23 Which is a shit old Canberra Fuck yourself And it's just Like it's 18 months It's 18 months Officer training Then you go
Starting point is 00:28:31 And do your core Specific training Okay That's the reason Why they're so good Is because like When I'm 22 When I'm 23
Starting point is 00:28:39 Getting out of ROTC in college And hitting my first Like my officer training As an intelligence officer That's where I met my wife So I had already had Like four years of college Partying and all this stuff
Starting point is 00:28:48 I'm like I'm tired Grandpa And so like Dated my wife And like married her And all that stuff But then you meet like
Starting point is 00:28:56 West Point kids Who are kind of The British aristocracy If you will And it's like It's like meeting A home school kid It's like
Starting point is 00:29:04 What the fuck Is wrong with you And they're just like Captain There's the house For four years Nobody let me go anywhere And this is my first
Starting point is 00:29:12 Taste of freedom Who And you're like What the fuck Is that And like they It's awful And so like
Starting point is 00:29:20 It's weird That you said it Like that Because it is It's like The ROTC kids Are out there Like
Starting point is 00:29:28 Alright I guess I should get married And settle down I did all my partying Like the West Point kids Are like Finally a taste of freedom At 23 years old
Starting point is 00:29:36 40 Not 40 Like 36 year old Mustangs He was like I was a grunt I did my Six pumps
Starting point is 00:29:44 And now I want to be An officer But then there are either A The best officer You can have Or the worst Because they understand
Starting point is 00:29:52 The mind Yeah, they understand The mind of a Lowered-listed guy He's like He's trying to hide Like go get him It's like
Starting point is 00:30:00 Oh, you're identical Bring back your receipt The best of the unicorns The best of the unicorns The best of the unicorns The like Officers Kind of like
Starting point is 00:30:08 I think what Cody might have been Right An officer With like A soldier's mentality And then you just corrupt him Like I was a corrupter once
Starting point is 00:30:16 And then I met And then I met The real cool Lister guy And I like And now I hit ceiling rank At major
Starting point is 00:30:24 You know what I mean My I mean I've told the story before My favorite officer He was also The worst officer You could have
Starting point is 00:30:32 Is like He's like What are the Doves We'd have like Once a week And I would sit behind And they were like
Starting point is 00:30:41 Or at S2 He's like Do you go outside this morning Is it hot? They were like You didn't tell me anything And he was like Yeah
Starting point is 00:30:52 And he was like Yeah Dude that It was You hit the nail On the head with that Because by the time I was
Starting point is 00:31:00 Like I would walk in and stand at the back of the room and be my slide. I just stand there and people be like What are you doing? I'm like trying to remember which guy this is that we're killing and they've been I'd like flip through I'd flip through like two slides forward three slides. I was like, oh, yeah, I remember this guy Okay, so this is what's happening. And they're like, what's wrong with you? I'm like, I am so fucking done Like I'm so burnt out And I'm like watch out for that machine gun here. He may move down there, but he's definitely gonna be like right there And they're like thanks as to you're you're doing good. I'm here for you
Starting point is 00:31:34 I just like throw a slip of paper of grid coordinates to like the actually pilot and the A10 guy and then they come back They're like, he was right there. He was right there shot him with 20 times 30 millimeter. Fuck him up. I'm like, oh good I got two more of this tonight I'm just completely done. Oh my god, that's that's that's that's what happens the enlisted get there And they're like sir, there's an easier way to do this and like by the time the stick is fully out of your ass And you're like, just show me the way My dreams died a long time ago. I'm not gonna be a special forces Ranger Sniper like Tim Kennedy The best I can hope for is a Folger sponsorship. I'm not getting black rifle
Starting point is 00:32:22 It's just me waking up with a cigarette in a trailer park like filters the real man's tree But now that I've made a shitty Folger's joke My question to you is you sit here and you watch America from a distance a lot of people and our Group want to know Not that want to know but like what do you see this? I was like is the border crisis really a border crisis The South America all that bad. Should we be looking at China like as an Australian with a drinking problem? What should America do tell us a wise one well take a knee Take a knee son
Starting point is 00:33:06 Well, the media that we get obviously just makes everything sounds so much worse like oh my god There's like children are dying every day in the US. Um, you know the borders Infiltrated and you know, it just said obviously it's worse. Yes, man I you know, I kind of don't believe it one of my best friends like met an American and moved over there married her And there's like a fire firefighter in Louisiana is a fucking really good dude And he just says like panel it's like what you guys hear about Australia like we've got a dictator for a PM You know, you know cops are bashing everyone for leaving the house drink over like it's just you don't believe the media It's all full of shit and then obviously by talking to each other
Starting point is 00:33:44 You realize what the reality is and in like in regards to like what's happening in the world today like for us You know, we spent so long focusing on the Middle East And that's because you know, we're just keeping that relationship alive for the firelight community like like hey US will Thank you guys again. If you look after us, it's what will three happens. You're so sure, but yeah, we'll do that But like, you know, you know, China is is a huge threat for us and now government right now is pretty left-leaning So they want to make sure we're not putting ourselves in a bad position security Why and that's why you see like the relationship US really being reinforced, you know, with the Marines up in Darwin, you know office training training teams throughout the
Starting point is 00:34:27 Southeast as well as the Philippines like we do joint training US, Australia, Filipino, you know Combat shooting ID training all that sort of stuff. And then you know, we always send guys to US for training as well. I missed out on so many good opportunities to go over and do some joint training because What you guys offer is pretty good. Like you guys have the kit and training and like you give fucks We don't we don't really necessarily give fucks until it's too late. Like when I went to Africa, like I had the worst body fucking I didn't even have like a proper start my rifle. I was given this shitty little stock site and when I did a handover So the searcher at the time There's like he brought his ACOG I literally took the ACOG off the guy's rifle that I replaced and he went back and took
Starting point is 00:35:11 You know for his old shitty scope want to flew off and our body almost fuck I look like a turtle man and When the special forces guys got better kid we they gave it to us like he's Eagle Marine He marines platform, which is I think what the Marines used for a long time as well that brown that brown kid And I was a god send those. Yeah the black I can move this is fucking great. Look at me. Like we're so reactive Yeah, and it's just surprising that this office thing is kind of like Proactive in the sense like yeah, we're prepping even though I'm getting stuff until like now we could probably fly to Mars
Starting point is 00:35:49 No, it makes sense because it's like I've talked to once you talk to like like you said you talk to a couple people and you move around and you Like make friends you start to realize like your average American infantrymen gets a shit on a training compared to most Other countries like we complain about it Like oh you got to go to the electronic shooting simulator for two hours before you go to the range the next day And then you do the range and then you do your marksmanship tables So you're like you're shooting like zero to 300 meters and you're doing like moving shooting Then you're doing like bounding and then we like work our way up to the shoot house and like you're saying you're like
Starting point is 00:36:27 I go shooting before I deploy and that's about You fucking what? There's something I definitely want to uh Like building on top of this is like, you know, it's china thread is the border of thread or anything But within the last 10 years australia has built like two what lhd's the helicopter carriers the gambra and the other Adelaide is that it but um, yeah, it's like it's like is there a naval arms race in the pacific because Japan or china got an aircraft carrier australia said they're going to make two little helos
Starting point is 00:36:58 India said they want to make an aircraft carrier the japanese Went around the constitution to make one It's like It's like yeah, so is there a naval arms race is australia trying to get ahead of the curve because they also last year just made that weird nuclear sub-deal with the u.s And the the brits they're like, yeah They're coming here, but I mean if For the listeners back in the day, um, there was a big rift between the west
Starting point is 00:37:20 And new zealand because they said no nuclear weapons in this country. They're like cool You have a port that can hold nuclear subs. So thanks But that was back in i must say the seven news of the eighties, but then yeah, like what's going on there? Yeah, so I think the writing is a little war man Like the future potential conflict will be island hopping. It'll be Jungle fighting it'd be like real nasty shit So we're kind of preparing ourselves but we created an amphibious infantry battalion Which was super rare. Like we re-rolled a unit and said hey guess what guys?
Starting point is 00:37:53 You're now answered and we and they're now attached to like our forces command kind sort of level And yeah, we re-rolled them. So all the infantrymen are recon Um amphibious qualified kind of like like a quasi marine battalion, which we never had really really had before um And now we started to do more amphibious We've got the two lhd satellite in canvro, which like work when they want to and we know we test them constantly when there's like a Cyclo and bg whatever like yeah, let's send it out. Let's test our readiness You know, we're testing like it was on the news the testing apaches on them as well for a sort of a strike capability because
Starting point is 00:38:28 The target that we brought a fucking stupid like it's a french platform with us Computers, so we just butchered this this this kit and it's an absolute rubbish piece It's like even though it was tested in like african the french and apparently had some really good results The tiger with us is just just a joke. So we went we go on apache We go on black hole. We're trying to make it sounds more interoperable with the u.s because What we see is probably going to be doing that conventional sort of uh, like almost like world war two style island hopping, you know light infantry units, um
Starting point is 00:38:57 Now the we've probably put a more of an emphasis on our infantry fighting vehicles and tanks So the sort of two platforms are looking at have like 30 mil cannons They're huge like they're hardly reconnaissance vehicles, but you can tell they're light enough to get on a on a lhd Ship it to a shore, you know supporting infantry in the jungle or real dense terrain About uh, f-35s are the lhd is capable of watching those bad boys But no, I doubt it like I think they'll I think my opinion like this is my opinion and i'm not a fucking expert By any means, I think the lhd has become a floating f.o.b Um, they'll be like, you know, the launch troops from become like a hospital sort of ship as well
Starting point is 00:39:39 And the f-35s are going to be kept to the northern australia and just protect the borders fly around long range patrols or support Um, where they can in in the near region Yeah, I don't see those. I don't see us getting like you know aircraft carrier where we could reenact the top gun in like, you know where aviators I thought it was really good But there was that f-35 with japan that will like miss the landing pad and just went straight into the water And everyone's like
Starting point is 00:40:11 And and the chinese race so fast to scoop it up. We're like, no get the fuck away We're thinking about it man. Like it's you know, like that guy that got arrested in australia the u.s Teaching, uh, the chinese had a new, uh, launch planes off ships. So think about the u.s. Have mastered that like the u.s And uk have been launching planes off ships for the fucking ages like, you know, since the 40s We we've never really done that. That's the capability that we we may have had at one point and I've lost and it's not easy Like just think about the trend those get these pilots capable to take off land on the ship. That's moving um Yeah, it's just no it may main feat and I don't think australia has the appetite to start raising that capability
Starting point is 00:40:54 anyone can just leverage the u.s And then and you can see that china definitely wants that capability to extend their reach as well because they don't have A huge ability to force reject luck. We don't think china's the only way to travel like i've got to be that happens Because I was all fucking in just gonna throw like shoot at me But we obviously don't you know strength. I think there's the ability to force reject But they'll just want to project far enough that they'll create a buffer that we won't get close to the chinese mainland It's i'm looking at the canberra and i'm i'm not a Not a navy guy at all. Um
Starting point is 00:41:26 It's for those that are listening and can't look they're just like in the car driving imagine an area aircraft carrier But it's like a chode. It's it's like short and fat And it's got my favorite thing. It doesn't have like a straight ramp No, it's got the the lift. Yep. It's got the it's got the ramp Yeah, it's it's based on an old uh I forgot the name but the australians bought the designs from the spanish and when I was important spain I saw the spanish ship and I remember like we ported our rink and dink little boat next to it. I'm like, it's bigger like what? That's like australian put all that money into this
Starting point is 00:42:07 Why we stuck it for a few minutes like we I don't know what we used to run m1 like The what they caught the car that I learned to drive in the m1 was really let's drive it was in vietnam It was shot with an ipg really well did And sent back and we still use we still use it at that point and uh, it had a plarket But yeah, this thing was shot in gongtao province 19 you know 68 whatever
Starting point is 00:42:29 And then we're like, hey, we need another it's something to replace this I don't know dear Let's get two buckets. We should mush them together and then we'll put a brand new tonne on it and then there'll be a good replacement And then actually pieces of shit like like we were like, and it's just something to ukraine And that's what you see in ukraine now the australian Buckets like they're not designed for combat and like shut shuttling Candidings back from the front lines as well. Yeah, they're perfect for that because it'll protect you from small arms or whatever but like 762 took me to 762 go into sustain fire. We'll eventually just fuck that thing up
Starting point is 00:43:00 bad It's it's just a box It's just it's And if you'll tanks outside man, if you'll you see the fuel tank fuck I'm flaming me for fucking six wheels bro for a can of raviolis So something something since you know, you're an australian. I think You might know more about this and
Starting point is 00:43:22 A lot of people always talk about like app like vietnam They're like, oh, you know, there was americans vietnam that there was nobody else there to support us But he's like, yeah, the australians and new zealoters were there but like Like grandfather was in vietnam what not he had much high respect for the australians But at the same time the australians in vietnam came right from malaysia. They were fighting the malaysian emergency with the brits They were fighting the very very similar coin operation where the brits idea instead of like shocking all like ours was was like Oh, let's just poison all the water burn all the food and exchange a bag of rice for a communist or two for two communists
Starting point is 00:43:58 Like something like this and the australians came to vietnam. They're like, hey, here's all of our tools We know how to win the u.s. Was like just go burn this village down and you're like Yeah, it's right. It's right in vietnam We're like really great jungle fighters. Like the thing about our training area is the most big jungle So we had like the jungle patrolling jungle fighting pretty much squared away. Um, it's just I guess the appetite for the war sort of diminished like in the u.s. Over time and it sort of degraded amorell um but
Starting point is 00:44:32 You know, I went I went to vietnam in 2014 with a with the tunnel rats association So all the you know, common engineers went into tunnels and stuff. So that this thing was like, hey, man two engineers forever You know, let's let's roll. Let's go. Uh, it's what these old boys probably haven't been back since Uh, the vietnam war. So we all went over there About about two weeks and it went to bung town. The australians had the bung town province and we started off, uh, you know Side gone and uh, we just like, you know, and it sort of just Parted on but we went to all the big battle sites. We went to the long tan I think I've heard of the battle of long tan. We're like a company of australian infantrymen like bought off a couple thousand nva troops
Starting point is 00:45:09 um They made a movie about it And it's what we did went to the you know, the kuchi tunnels and all sort of stuff because all the guys I went with were engineers And tunnel rats and it's kind of so we did something very similar in afghan I got such a few times we're looking for caches. We're doing like Comma engineering shit And um, yeah, it was it was a trip man. Like, you know, it was pretty cool. Those old boys Fucking felt like they were 20 again. Like one there's this one guy who's like a
Starting point is 00:45:35 He was a captain in the war and he retired as a little colonel and like We know we were there to escort them as well because they're they're they're they're in those 60s and 70s and something comes in their 80s And we're like, hey, man, we've got to the next bar. It's like son. I'm busy like, yeah, that's great. Look We've got to go to the next bar and it's son. I'm busy and then I look down and he's getting a bj under the ball table And like like they take four they'll pack You know in in the in the 60s and 70s, man They're having such a good time and then like we went to the range
Starting point is 00:46:04 And then uh, that is like because the Vietnamese army is pretty poor. They're like, hey, you can shoot a gun Just you know, give us some money for rounds and I wanted to shoot the m1 grant Like I was like, this is fucking sick like banner brothers. Let's do this I just want to hit that ping and get rock hard and then um, when the other boy spent like 200 Australian dollars, it's like 6 000 US dollars and um But he got like 200 rounds of link 760 link for the m60 and he just yeah He just wanted to go get some and just fire 300 round burst like when he's 60 when he's sure And all the old boys loved it. It was like great, but
Starting point is 00:46:38 Yeah, it was pretty cool, man. Some of them like refused to have lunch with the mda um VC that That they were there as well. We had like a joint lunch. Sometimes it didn't get off the bus like it was just It was just a hard war man. Like those guys naturally got pumped It's it's a weird thing. Yeah, I mean like they did that for um, I remember there was a show for the americans that did that uh, they like brought the americans back and I've seen it where they've brought the uh
Starting point is 00:47:08 The guys who were there uh christmas for one war two when japan attacked hong kong and they just like brutally Assaulted the british american canadian australian dudes there and they're just like they'll they'll go like right up to the japanese Like you wore criminals. They'll be like nope Give me the fuck out. It's like it's like really uncomfortable, but I think if uh I hate to say it, but like it It's kind of weird, but it isn't like you know, like some people die So a lot of dudes get tortured, but I think if you like nobody asked me
Starting point is 00:47:39 But like if you had the chance to go back and have lunch with the towel band like shit Yeah, I would because I'd look them dead in the eye like you won but I get a lot of your fucking friends though, right? Like you won but like you didn't beat me like Like how do you like that'd be like the ultimate shit talking like Yeah, but I get it. There's there's a really hard felt feelings and it's hard to fucking What a way to kill the vibe, you know go from like drinking to machine guns to like There was that just that movie uh, uh the railway man. You ever see that one?
Starting point is 00:48:17 Yeah about the uh The brits in the singapore and they got captured by the japanese So the japanese made him build a railway because that was her whole job And uh, I mean for the for the listeners out there. I'm not here to be like a movie reviewer But it's like this brit was like I hate him. I hate the japanese so much His wife's like hey, guess what I got little uh, baby, uh, kony for uh christmas And he's like what a train sentence just like watching a train go around the christmas tree The one scene where he throws him in a cage, he's like get in the cage like I
Starting point is 00:49:00 Do like the human thing as well when we're in vietnam all the intelligence fighter and I was just a young dirty dirty staffer We're like chilling at this in a hotel at bung town and he's like too smoking hot Wester looking chicks come up and then they had like Russian accents and like hey What do you fit young men doing in vietnam and then we realized like vietnam is kind of like the cancun or barley for like You know, the strong like the barley is like when we send out go for cheap holiday and like for like thank you If you guys like you go down there drink beers and get on sit on the beach. Well for vietnam. That's where you know russian ukrainians usually go to party And we don't just do smoking hot like uh, east european chicks like what are you guys doing?
Starting point is 00:49:43 And when they realized that we were losers and nobody isn't like Fuck they just left and that's it. Yeah, we're here. Where are you ukrainians? Do we teach ukrainian to the beat the beat means students here like this is dodgy This is be right here. I'm fresh on the nbc. You know There's a bunch of white guys just spinning around Fucking nothing. Let's get out of here. Come back. I'm sas You guys want a manual on deck corn. Come here. Come on. It's People stand back. Whoa
Starting point is 00:50:21 I'll show you some ttps. They'll let you down and they'll make you you know to satisfy but hey It was like honey pot. It was honey potting 101, baby uh We were just talking about that on another episode that was talking about all the uh, you know Chinese females that are in the dc area going to college and yeah It's like oh you want to find the spy look at the one taking a selfie in front of benagon. There she is What's that? Was that the u.s. Senator that was like that used in chinese ladies It was his uh, what was it cody like his personal aid or something in california
Starting point is 00:51:05 Okay, yeah, no, it's uh in california. They had like three californian representatives wrapped up in chinese honey pot scandals And like uh, mitch mcconnell. Nobody ever mentions this but mitch mcconnell's wife is uh, chinese as well um, who else there's a lot of honey potting going on in local politics not, um Not federal politics because they know the game right so like in texas There's like 11 counties that control like oil prices intended or not to say like oil prices in the entire state because there's so much Oil in these places and so they're like constantly the fbi is like quit sending Nines and tens to the middle of bumfuck oil country texas And it's like matt and i talked about this if you just send like an average chinese woman
Starting point is 00:51:51 Who's like a six or a seven like just average and be like, oh, okay She's just kind of coming through but it's like oil country where dudes are talking about like hot beers sleeping in their trucks and like It's just miserable existence and there's just like Chinese honeypots walking around trying to marry like local oil barons to like raise Prices it's like what the fuck is she doing? Like i'm pissing in a beer can wearing underwear and boots covered in oil Like if if a match gets lit half this county's gonna get blown up and she's just like any you have those
Starting point is 00:52:24 Got any uh stocks any bonds and he like get the fuck out of here I'm missing six teeth and i've got a heroin addiction You don't belong here It's it's it's yeah, it's bad and it's it's mostly local politics and it's uh man It's funny that you said that like you don't think like You mentioned that aircraft carrier is like that dude who did get wrapped up in china. I saw that but it's funny you said like the
Starting point is 00:52:56 Like the australians may have lost that capability like it's it's weird to me because like I just It doesn't strike me as something that couldn't be fixed within like two to three years, right? Like the australian army like you're saying like it's down and it's it's it You know, it's How do I put this? Um, it hasn't received the love and attention it needs to fight china But the thing about like australians is like you guys don't have a warrior culture Like we've talked about this before on the podcast like americans are not a warrior culture as much as they put on punisher schools and like
Starting point is 00:53:28 My second amendment patriotism. It's like that doesn't you're not a we're like a mercantile society full of fat people but it's like In in the army and the marines we like transform people to become you know the army Marine recon like we will haze you and push you into that that brown peg into that square old to the point where you cannot Reintroduce yourself in society. You're like Now I mean and you're right right like if you've ever tried with the australians or like you realize like there's a certain amount of soldiering that you guys have about you so it's like
Starting point is 00:54:09 I I think that you guys can you know take your Take your guys who come in haze them properly and then because you're english speaking and you already are part of the us it's like australia uk us like we all agree like we're gonna have nuclear weapons We all agree we're gonna work together. It's like dude, and you wouldn't have to twist anybody's arm If you told me like hey, I need you to sign up for one more year and go teach intel the australians, bro My bag would be packed. I call my wife should be that we're going to australia shove a dog in a suitcase Let's go like I'd be there tomorrow to turn you guys up like I mean it doesn't get any better than that
Starting point is 00:54:45 So I don't know I don't feel like you guys are behind the power curve like if you told us like hey Who wants to go to australia for the next three years and make sure they're ready to fight chime out like We would be sifting through like there'd be dudes who are retired like let me back. I'm coming I think especially from like the american standpoint is because like we do this like You know six months on six months off for the army It's like what 12 months on 12 months off something like that But if there was like a permanent personnel like you were going to australia until they know what they're doing Like how many americans would sign up for that
Starting point is 00:55:19 I go back Like you're going to all you're going to australia.
