[QUOTEGnadenburg I think the argument is whether, as a small nation with a limited defence budget, you should be looking at technology being ironed out by other countries ie: obviously the US services.][/QUOTE]
The thing is that our budget isn't that small. Apparently the ADF has the 12th largest defence budget in the world, I can apreciate that the wages of our personel are considerably higher (as well as all the other deserved expenses that the men and woman should get) but for the 12th largest budget in the world, shouldn't we be getting a little more bang for our bucks!!
