I wouldn't know anything about the UK, but Australia has not had to defend itself from invasion since perhaps WWII. The only battle fought on Australian soil to date was at Eureka Stockade. I consider every armed conflict we have been involved in since the Japanese were bombing Darwin to have been completely unnecessary.
I'm not the kind of guy who spits on vets, I just feel sorry for them instead of putting them on a pedestal and encouraging more people to go get their arms blown off.
Also,
Falklands? That was over a tiny island covered in sheep, wasn't it?
