"They're aware that they belong to a tradition but I think it's good that the values that have always made Australian soldiers successful which is this sense of fair play and sense of not being led by the nose into things that they're against is still there and that's part of the Anzac tradition. No young lieutenant in the Australian Army could make a corporal or a sergeant do an indecent exercise without them standing up to them and questioning them. The Australian Army has an individualistic personal morality which we all of us Australians share whereas most other armies in the world spend the whole time training, training that out of them, training ... this is what happens in the American Army with the marines and in the British Army to a large extent. People are taught as soldiers to become killing machines and to obey orders. Thank God that's never happened to our people and that's what makes us good peace keepers."
