Then the Aussies wouldn't have the benefit of seeing some of the things
that kept their country safe (Pacific) or helped support their forces
directly (Europe). Several of them were actually used by Aussie
troops, making them a part of their history too regardless of where
they were made. We've got Diamond Ts, M24s, M3 HTs, up the wazoo over
here in the US. We don't need any more. Well, unless of course
someone wanted to park that M24 in my yard :-)
