Not strictly 100% correct. US did not lead ww1 or ww2 but was a late arrival in both. USA did not get militarily involved in ww1 until 1917 and Australian troops were involved from 1914 and same goes for ww2 where again USA troops did not get militarily involved until 1941 (after the bombing at Pearl Harbour although they had sent weapons to Allies before then) and Australia declared war on Germany in 1939.

Australia is a military partner of the USA and reliable. This does not mean the average Australian agrees with their politics, far from it. Trump and Biden seem shameless and incompetent. I hope China enjoys our red wine when the tariffs are lifted.👍

About the same for me but disagree they were fat(as a group). Yes, there were Officers who were obviously fat and some diggers who were obviously somewhat overweight but would not say they were fat. Personally, I would say less than 10% even approached that category overall. I thought the marching left a lot to be desired as arms were at different levels but mainly because they did not line the troops up properly according to height as we used to do in the past. The smallest should always be leading with the tallest at the end but here they seemed to have the smallest in the middle of each group with tallest leading and ending. That creates the varied arm heights which looks terrible to the trained eye. Spent 4 years on honour guards in late 1960's and early 1970's. I would say these troops marched once before the day as a group and as stated were poorly sorted regards uniformity in height.

I'd say it's 8/9 because there were 4 Colours

Chinese boss is a bum and a 20 cent player

Uncle xi is a mere puppet!

Most Australian Army customs and traditions are identical to the British Army and other Commonwealth countries due to our relationship with the crown

No it's not , I was an Australian Infantry Soldier our arm swing isn't shoulder height , our halt is slower , more swagger and far more relaxed and our drill timing and structure is way better than any pohm , US is close but there are no prizes for second 🖕🏻😁🇦🇺🦘

@@mattfraser3452 Matt Greetings, you will be aware that there are 2 ways of marching, Ceremonial and 'marching at ease' to get from A to B. Your style of marching is style two. Nothing wrong with that! I was not being critical in the least!

Come take us on and see how weak we are Dickhead you are in for a shock

I'm sorry mate we have the 17th biggest army in the world. We will never start a fight, if and when China start a war, we will be waiting, our nation have never been invaded by a foreign nation. It would be suicide to launch an attack on our country unless you can deal, with all the venomous snakes, spiders, then the open hot desert, then the rest of us. It would be stupid for them to attack us, unless they could take the country very quickly they will never take our country, China will not have supplies or time to keep transporting troops and supplies without being detected or slowed down, this leaves their troops in our lands weak. All I can say is good luck, do underestimate us like others have.

@@knightrogue5959 LOL go fight China than will get smoked

no name,no nationality,must be somebody we defeated!

no they are not ya fuck! this is the greatest army in the world

no they dont they cant fight for fight if China come here what are these guys going to do

Hey Jimmy, we will follow your lead and not even try. Coward.

@@dkb2080 What are you on about. It’s not just these brave soldiers who will be fighting millions of Australian men that are civilians will be going straight to the military too train and be Combat ready for war. Us Australians are very proud poeple.💪🏻

@@themoviehobbit355 fighting millions of Australian nice joke the government doesn't care if they die and live fighting the elites wars wake up to yourself

Well said: it’s harder than it looks, the music, the bass drum, echoing of buildings can deceive.

I was Drum Major that day, most of the people in the Pipes & Drums had only been playing their instruments for about 4 weeks having just completed the basic Pipers and Drummers course. To have the biggest battalion in Australia all in step is testament to their dedication to learn a new craft. Thanks for pointing it out, I appreciate it!

@@takemasu45 is 8/9 the biggest in the RAR now? Though it would have been one of the 3BDE battalions.

@@user-qe3pg7cx8y not anymore. Hard to say now, used to be 3RAR but they went under. 2RAR perhaps

​@@takemasu45interesting to see a Private as the Drum Major

Aussies do like their beer.

they are not gurkha's they are Anzac diggers

my grandpa gassed at Ypres...joined when he was 16 a Saskatchewan farm boy

And that still stands true today. The bond between ANZAC Canadian and British soldiers goes beyond any explanation.

@@MacScouse CANZUK will be the best thing for our nations.

Unfortunately the next major war has already been waged. It started in 2001 against the people and we are nearing the end. I beg you speak to those who they call outcasts as they will speak the truth. One love and peace to all. ✌️ ❤️

Scotland The Brave / Rose Of Allendale Followed by The Black Bear

I know the tune. My wonder was WHY.

Longer pants... Yea Maybe but cooler hat? Your bloody dreaming mate

@@lachlanhawkes-law3396 we have sick hats compared to other nations.

Scotland the Brave at the start and Black Bear at the end.

Rommel was quoted as say the Australians and the New Zealanders were the best troops he had ever faced. Though I am old enough to remember that a the grand father of a friend of mine who had encoutered the Aussies in the First World War, as an ally, said no braver but ill disciplined. Looking at that parade they are now more tha well disciplined. So smart.

@@rorymac7714 They hated the British rule and the bad mistakes they made with the Anzacs and the Aussies lost respect and you need to be undisciplined in a war when it comes to saving your arse and your mates. They would steal anything and everything they can even if it was bolted down. Hence why the British hated them too. In the second war even Hilter hated the Aussies as they would steal his weapons and bombs and then use them on the Germans.

@@Mav_FWell perhaps in some parts of the country but we joined the war out of respect for our motherland. We felt an oath

@Uncle not talking about Britain and its rule over Australia as that dissolved in 1901. I am talking about Britain's Rule over the Anzacs in the first part of WWI and most men volunteered because they wanted to travel, keep Australia safe and the love for Britain and so on. Australia earned respect from a lot of countries during WWI

What did Rommel say in the African campaign in ww2 when the Aussies and kiwis were making a monkey out of Rommel ( he said these hard badtards ) give me a division of Aussies and I will win the war . Without doubt the best soldiers in the world .. I know I was one. You have all the crap playing out in ukraine right now ! The Russian army is like the old British sit com ( dads army ) nothing but drunken bums .You put 30.000 hard Aussie soldiers with the right gear into that theatre of war right now, and the 30 kopeck drunken Russian soldiers would all be rounded up / beaten up i/ and crawling back to the Russian border in a fortnight.

I doubt its ANZAC Day here. Freedom of Entry is a tradition granted by Cities etc from time to time in UK & Commonwealth Countries. The actual citation goes - Freedom of the City is an ancient honour granted to martial organisations, allowing them the privilege to march into the city "with drums beating, colours flying, and bayonets fixed". This honour dates back to ancient Rome - particularly bearing arms

Not just Navy. 6RAR did this when returning from operations too. Not sure if it's done everytime though.

Navy is not the senior service, you have been indoctrinated, as a service person you should learn more about the history of the Australian Defence Force. The Australian Defence Act 1901, Navy and Army were both declared as Australia Defence Force on the same day by Parliament. LEARN YOUR HISTORY
