The Gulf

Apparently the Royal Navy isn't the only service that the Iranians have attacked. In 2004, the mullahacracy tried to capture an Australian boarding party, but that one never made the headlines. Why?

Answer: They fought back and won.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald,

Quoting a "military source", BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner reported Iranian forces made a concerted attempt to seize a boarding party from the Royal Australian Navy and that the Australians "were having none of it".

"The BBC has been told the Australians re-boarded the vessel they had just searched," Gardner reports, "aimed their machine guns at the approaching Iranians, and warned them to back off, using what was said to be 'highly colourful language'.

Our sources inform us that the Royal Navy has requested a shipment of spines from the RAN.

    I'm still wary on criticizing the actions of any military man, (unless they turn Cassius) but a hearty "huzzah" to the Aussies for giving Iran the .50 caliber middle finger.

    'Highly colourful language' indeed.

    I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

    Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.
