Emu solider from the great Australian emu war
TheLonelyFoney
You magnificent bastard.
Vekovo
As someone who doesn't get the reference, this is still pretty emusing.
ApparentlyJoiningLotsOfWordsIsPopularHere
War. War never changes. - Emu, probably.
Pagnmickie
Solider?
TheCauseTheKidTheCourseTheCharm
No eye liner, no black and red hair, no My Chemical Romance tee, this isn't a true Emu
Thewonderfulbusternubs
Emus are already pretty solid. How does one make them solider?
Irminsul773
Huh, my history teacher told me that the emus used German-style stahlhelms, not brodies.
Mafffuman1
Then, everything changed when the Emu nation attacked...

Emu's wouldn't have lost if they had more Emu Marines like this warrior.

EMUS ARE INVINCIBLE
gdahead
I didn't know I needed an emu
usersubbordercontrol
The emus are the strongest military ever. Maybe a stick would be better. Nah, emus
NOINITIATIVE
seriously though why didn't they use sort of bolas, beartraps, or even gas on the emus...hell they could of even just dug a big hole

Semper Fi, emu warrior with eagle, globe, and anchor on his kevlar
waiwode
Helmet that old? I'm thinking it might just not be kevlar. Besides, where would Emus get advanced ballistic nylon? That's just ridiculous!

Yeh, figured. I just like the idea of kevlar being ridiculous, but making no comment about the steel pot and cigarette, as if that's okay.
JustAnAbidingDude
Well I was specifically pointing out that OP called it an Australian emu when that's our USMC emblem on the kevlar.

FUCK YOU!!!!!
CityYeti
You guys couldn't even take out a bunch of birds. How do you guys survive down there?
SwarmLord
Yes they did take them out: "Instead, the bounty system was continued, and proved to be effective: 57,034 bounties were claimed in 1934."
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
You dopey bastard, Emus can be 6 foot tall they can peek like a punch from Mike Tyson, they run 60ks an hour and they can fuckin kick!
CityYeti
We're humans. We invented guns. Use guns!
Solusphere
The "Great Emu War" consisted of a few soldiers in a single jeep, versus over 20,000 emus. They tried to kill them with machine guns, but 1/
Solusphere
the emus were evasive, ran away in all directions, and could frequently survive multiple bullet wounds before going down. So it was hard 2/

Are you trying to trigger PTSD in our veterans???

The great emu war was a massive military operation undertaken by Australia to reduce and control the population of emus... the emus won...
NOINITIATIVE
seriously though why didn't they use sort of bolas, beartraps, or even gas on the emus...hell they could of even just dug a big hole
jaspernewton
I know fuck them right, tbf they had one machine gun so i wouldnt say massive
Xavkha
Up until the point where they just got farmers to cull them their selves, which was far more effective.

How the hell do you lose against a damn bird??
TheLonelyFoney
Straya, that's how.
SwarmLord
Australia didn't lose. Those were several soldiers that tried to kill 20k emus that ravaged the farms. Emus were too fast for machine guns.
sexyGandalf12
So a bird is faster than bullets?!
SwarmLord
Faster than a human moving the gun's turret, plus they divided into small, hard-to-hit groups, but about 3000 emus were eventually killed.
sexyGandalf12
So they have fucking organization and tactical squads!?
