If you had read it, you would happily find out that the US military has “poached” him from the Aussies to train Green Berets in close quarter combat.

It’s all good.

A few years ago Bill Bagwell was training Green Berets in fighting with the Bowie knife, I wonder if any freepers took that training, I have been hugely curious about that course.

Oh, well that’s good news. From the excerpt it sounded like his men were defending him.

When people must stand and defend you it usually means you have been accused of doing something wrong.

I noticed that too.Assuming that the Sergent fulfilled his obligations to the Australian Armed Forces then one could argue that he had a right to take the US up on its offer,even if Aussies think he had a moral obligation to his country.Of course the opposite is also true...a US serviceman,once lawfully discharged from the Armed Forces,can do what he wants.But my understanding is that when a US citizen serves in a foreign military,even one of an allied nation,he/she places their US citizenship in jeopardy under current Federal law.
