You George W Bush ? Mission accomplished !
by the time the enemy troops are conducting patrols on our streets the war is over.
It would seem unwise to wait for the enemy to have landed a sizeable invasion force with an established control centre with logistics and supply chains, before you would think to act.

Are you kidding, Combat engineers are right on the front line. infact the engineer corp is 1 of only four army corps who actively fight the enemy not just in self defence, the other 3 corps are infantry, armor (tanks) and artillery, all other corps only fight in self defence.
Engineers are a vital on the front line, they help our own forces move, building bridges, roads airfeilds etc, they deny the enemy of movement by blowing up bridges, roads, constructing obsticles etc, and engineers also assist troops survive on the battle feild by building sheltor and defences such as bunkers.
Most SAS patrol groups in Afganistan have engineers embedded in them, I know of several engineers who have been wounded in battle in afaganistan.
An interesting point of history is that the first soldier to land in galipoli in WW1 was an army engineer.
Those guys in the movies that you see running forward with the troops weighed down with kilos of explosives are engineers ready to blow up obsticles,
What IF the economy tanks and we are down and out then the Muslims move in with a heap of $$$$$$$$$$...what happend's then?

What if other young Aussies were on a front line across Brissie prawn defending us southerners? I suppose it's hard to imagine, but that's part of my 'defend the territory no question' position.Well Im going to go against the trend and say No. It would be very hard to convince me to go and fight.
There's some American Indian tribe whose tribal laws say only men can go to war, but it's only the women that choose to go. Nice one.Maybe you should ask whether mothers would be prepared to let their sons go!
You don't have a fence up around your house and if the neighbours starting tossing handgrenades over you'd just lie back and think 'ah, the serenity!'No, I would never go to war - nor would I die for any cause. The 'ownership' of countries is ever changing, so why should I stand in the way of history, and to a better point; why the heck would I die for it?

Imagine this...WW3...full scale war...not naming races or anything...just a question:
- Would you give up everything you have known to defend the country that has treated you so well? The lucky country as people have put it...
- Would you, in this day and age, be willing to say goodbye to loved ones and know there is a chance you may not return?
- What would you do if conscription arose?
