Fair go Sheddy, I was talking about the individual soldier's motivation whilst in battle, not the pollie's motivation for putting him there.
Hopefully that covers the other comments too. As for why the RSL says anything, ya got me there Sturdee, they've been out of touch for a generation.

We don't want them having too much say in how we run our country because if we do our cricket will go to the dogs and we will no longer beat anyone.
SO in the interests of Australian Cricket we should belt the Pommy Flag off of our flag

We hosted a Swedish exchange student. The Swedish student told us that wearing the (swedish) flag in Sweden would Immediatly identify you as a neonazi racist to any member of the public.
So ingrained is this view that she was quite frightend by the number of Aussies she saw wearing the flag. We straightened her out of course. Just one of many cultural differences.
The problems with punishing the racist louts is that their actions tend to be intimidatory rather than actually doing anything criminally wrong.

Studley,
I've got a small benchtop morticer which cost me approx $225 ( including 2 sets of chisels) and I cut tenons on the TS. Bit cheaper than a Domi.

Yep Sturdee have to say a lot of good stuff about things like the Domino the only thing is can you get enough work out of it to justify having it?
Basic tools cost less and are far more versatile even if they aren't as productive at specialised tasks
