I used to spend a lot of time with your British SAS and vice versa and you can clearly see my feelings for the Canadian Airborne, while I know New Zealand has some good military and supported us in Vietnam I hope they aren’t as liberal as they used to be.
Meaning that I hope the people and Government isn’t as liberal as they used to be, I didn’t mean the military.
I imagine your military are in the same boat as the small Canadian military.

New Zealand has a love/hate relationship with being Liberal — we are currently in a “Conservative” frame of mind, with the casting out of Helen Clark and her dreadful crew of Labor harpies.
“Liberal” and “Conservative” takes on a whole different meaning here in New Zealand to what you might be used to in the US. For example, our liberals were responsible for beginning the free market reforms, and just this week our conservatives were responsible for nationalizing all new roading and rail infrastructure.
And all New Zealanders support nationalizd medicare — particularly as we can suppliment the excellent socialized medical services with private arrangements.
It’s almost as if our politics occupy a different slice of the political spectrum to the US.
