    Australian Prime Minister Tribute to American Veterans

    It's a little-known fact that Japanese submarines were quite active off the coast of Australia during the war, but the attacks were not widely reported in the press for fear of triggering panic such as occurred when they shelled the beach-side suburbs of Sydney. The consequent collapse in...

    Australian Prime Minister Tribute to American Veterans

    The 'yellow peril' demon has been lurking in the Australian psyche since the goldrush, and the Japanese campaign only gave it more life, and it was the main reason Menzies begged the US to let us join in Vietnam, as opposed to the oft-held belief of the Domino Theory. I would argue that today's...

    Hitler's Atlantic Wall ~ Should France preserve it?

    Well one might also ask about the Maginot line, how much of that is preserved? I believe that the prevailing narrative about the folly thereof is not quite right, and in fact the fortifications were of great tactical importance and consideration....

    HU. The most beautiful jacket I've ever seen

    Nice piece of leather, but for my money the colour is WRONG!! Wouldn't be buried in it.

    $594 shoes. Outrageously not worth it?

    For that price you could probably get a bespoke pair and make an old cobbler somewhere happy, and you'd KNOW that they'd fit properly

    Interesting WW2 article

    I'd like to point out that there's a definite cultural imbalance here, is as much money and effort being expended on hunting the individual perpetrators of say Srebrenica, or countless crimes in Rwanda, let alone Syria etc etc etc, yes justice should be seen to be done, but it always seems a bit...

    11 Pound Buffalo Jacket

    Well I know a guy who's worth about that much, and he ain't happy at all, I'm still pretty good buddies with him because I'm the only bloke he knows who doesn't try and get him to invest in schemes or buy stock in this or that startup, women are always trying to take him to the cleaners, and his...

    J. Edgar - New Flm with Leonardo DiCaprio

    Looks good, we'll probably get it next year sometime down here, and while we're at it, I'd like to see a revisionist bio of Harry Anslinger, a 30's figure whose world-wide influence still has vast effects on society today.
