SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://www.patreon.com/lionsledbydonkeys Joe and Nate talk about the time a bunch of drunken American soldiers caused a pitched battle between themselves and their allies while stationed in Australia during WWII Correction: Indigenous Australians were given Australian citizenship at the same time other Australians (1949) however, the quality of that citizenship was not equal to that of non-indigenous Australians. This continued for decades and as many indigenous Australian activists have pointed out, continues in various forms to this day. This included discrimination on enlistment. Some areas of Australia legally allowed indigenous people to enlist, but in practice, turned them away based on how they looked. Others were enlisted but not paid. Others were paid, but not equally and kept in segregated units and virtually none received benefits. sources: https://www.ozatwar.com/ozatwar/bob.htm https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/E84830 https://www.9news.com.au/national/the-battle-of-brisbane-how-world-war-ii-mass-riot-startedg/78b4e1be-bd3d-4d35-aef0-8b196213f4e7 https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/article/culture-clash-americans-in-world-war-ii-south-pacific/ https://www.warhistoryonline.com/world-war-ii/battle-of-brisbane.html https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/brisbane-news/diggers-lay-into-yanks-in-brisbane-battle-20171122-p4yx5o.html https://www.awm.gov.au/articles/encyclopedia/homefront/us_forces

Uploaded into war-machines. They fight a secret war to preserve humanity. What if there was a war raging for one million years, but it was kept secret? It's a question Sargis never considered, born as an upper middle class man living in Prime City during a so-called “Millenia of Peace.” As far as he, or anyone else knows, humanity has no army, no weapons, and no wars. The people of Earth have been expanding into the stars for as long as anyone remembers, free of conflict while the Techno King and his Royal Cabal enrich themselves on the backs of their labor. All was as it always has been. Then, Sargis dies. Unbeknownst to him, an app he used every single day of his life hijacks his consciousness and uploads it into a synthetic engine of war known as a sleeve. Along with countless others, he has been conscripted into the Undying Legion, charged with fighting a secret, unending war in the name of humanity.
