@Eshayzbra96

Channel 7 (and Channel 9, and ABC, SBS, Channel 10 and anyone else) use this footage almost every time they mention Afghanistan.

I see a AUG

[ebglider91]

They're using Austeyr F88's, an Australian licence-built version of the Steyr AUG. It's the standard rifle of the Australian Defence Force

Haha, it's funny how they say words like "mate" and "bloke" in the middle of combat.

Australia rules :P

Let's all stop jabbering on about what we all think and blah blah blah. "thekrazed" is probably just some armchair loudmouth. let's not worry about him....he's probably not even an officer, or someone who's opinion matters. ...........No.......What this video is about is AUSTRALIAN DIGGERS doing their bit to help stem the flow of terrorism in Helmund province. Their efforts should be praised, not used as a focal-point for being racist. take your opinions elsewhere, and bow your head in shame.
