That's one major benefit of watching at home, on disc or streaming. If you run into something like a heavy Scottish/Irish/Aussie/etc. accent, simply flip on the subtitles.

I'd like to see this one, hopefully it gets to the USA on disc.

I remember reading that the Aussies were feared both in Korea and Vietnam by the enemy and their tactical style was much different than the Americans. They liked to stay out for long periods and hunt and ambush the enemy, etc.

Train how you intend to Fight
Remember - Training is not sparring. Sparring is not fighting. Fighting is not combat.

My dad said similar things about Korean Marines in his AO in Vietnam. He said that areas the Koreans pacified, stayed pacified.
“I used to be totally into Steve Vai and Joe Satriani and other shredders, and I tried to emulate what they did and really grow as a guitarist,” Mr. Hanneman said in “Louder Than Hell.” “Then I said, ‘I don’t think I’m that talented, but more important, I don’t care.’ ”

Remember that the Aussies were already highly experienced in fighting that type of jungle counterinsurgency war, having successfully done so (albeit on a smaller scale) in Malaya alongside the Brits from 1950-1960. So they already had the skills and expertise needed when they became involved in Vietnam just a few years later.

Watched this yesterday on Amazon (only $2.99). Thought it was excellently done.
Sorry for the necrobump but this film is available now on Prime Video. Highly recommended. No politics, no BS, no anti-America, just a really solid war film.
I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.

I have been waiting for the release and realized that it was on redbox.
Just to get out, I ran up to the corner and snagged a copy.
Straight forward movie about combat and life as a grunt
