    What I remember about the rise of the Emu Empire is… is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Emu Wars, the Emu Legion was discreetly transferred back to Sydney. It was a silent trip; we all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight to Sydney, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Sydney Opera House. Not a word."

    10 bullets per emu sounds extremely reasonable. In fact, that's exactly what I guessed when he mentioned they had 10,000 bullets - 1000 kills.
    I find it hard to believe that the bounty was less than the price of 10 bullets, so surely they were losing money with that programme. (You don't need to factor in the soldiers' salaries because they get paid regardless).

    And I quote from a former veteran of the Emu War;
    “We were on patrol one afternoon, deep in hostile territory. My team leader, whom we were all close mates with, had been with us from the start. This particular afternoon we were patrolling down Feather Valley when the bastards ambushed us from two sides. Our left and right flanks were hit hard by the feathered devils. One Emu had impaled my old mate of thirty years right through his chest with his long head, and looked at me with an evil stare. My old mate was screaming, looking down at his chest. The emu squawked, a terrible screeching sound. It sounded like that of a banshee. I grabbed my other mate by the leg as he was being dragged away by his arm from what I remember seeing as a giant black ball of fur. It’s eyes were red and Satan like. It looked like the embodiment of all that is evil. I yelled “FUCK OFF YA CUNT” and gave my mate one last pull on his shoes and got him free of the monsters grip.
    Shortly after our ambush, reinforcements arrived, eventually the Emu’s withdrew from the area. I found my old mate, our team leader, dangling upside down from a branch in a tree. His body was clawed and bloodied. I swore to myself I would kill every last one of those cunts...”

The downpour of lead that followed was truly the stuff of nightmare, the bodies fell down every corner, the sound of gunfire was omnipresent, only broken by screams of agony and horror. If there ever was Hell on earth, that would be this, none of the survivors came back the same. The MCR rangers managed to repel the Legion and killed off over 400 of them, but they lost almost half of theirs in the process.

    *Emu* = Eeem-you
    *Badger* = Baj-er
    *Grizzly Bear* = Grizzly Bearh
    *Due* = Jew
    *Bunnings Snags* = BLOODY DELICIOUS
    If you want to leave any other words in the replies section I might add them at some point.
    Also, please note that I am in no way saying that "Emoo" is a "wrong pronunciation", it's just not what we're used to hearing therefore amusing.

    They could've just told everyone to eat the emus...a few a year would probably feed a family.
