Who is the best?

[LT. Ox]

Ok here ye go.
I did not fight in the BIG WAR, but I did fight and even bleed in another.
I was a member of the US Army and an Officer. I even got a medal or two.
I have read just about everything that has been put out about why it was fought, how it was fought and why it resulted in what some folks like to point out was a loss. I use the term like because some seem to speak with glee in that assumption.
I fought with people of several other nations, two of them directly at times.
When we were in the mist of getting our butts shot at we did not much care where the guy next to us or behind us came from only that he had our back and was THERE.
I did often think about the fine fighting men from down under and wonder just why those fellows were with us. It was a US commitment after all no matter what anyone says.
Mayhap it has changed but then....... I'm an old man now and I am crying remembering this short conversation.
I asked a fellow by the name of Brian why he /they were there and his answered may not mean much to you historians but he said “because ye need us mate." Well that fine man died just a short time later.
So folks dicuss and cuss all ye want about who won and how and why and who is the best but ta me the best are still their where they fell, and we owe them ALL.
Ah hell I will end this now and as always that is just my humble opinion.
