Funny what happens when you fight back, isn't it?

| Quote: | The Australians, though, to quote one military source, "were having none of it".
....
The BBC has been told the Australians re-boarded the vessel they had just searched, aimed their machine guns at the approaching Iranians and warned them to back off, using what was said to be "highly colourful language".
The Iranians withdrew, and the Australians were reportedly lifted off the ship by one of their own helicopters. |
Right on, Aussies! BZ's! Let that be a lesson to all the allies and let's be "having none of it" from now on!
We didn't issue weapons to these young people to have them taken away by thugs. Turn 'em loose and let them do what we sent them over there to do - SECURE the area!

I would expect nothing less from the Aussies.
