Yeah, trumping up Australia's military role wouldn't make much sense; I mean, our reserve forces are about 26 times larger than Australia's entire active duty military, and that's not counting IRR guys that can be called back, and that more than scales to their involvement in foreign conflicts. In just about all modern large scale conflicts, it is the American, British, and - to a somewhat smaller degree - Canadian militaries doing the heavy lifting. And that's why they're the ones featured as the world-class military movers and shakers they are in Call of Duty games: because they are world-class military movers and shakers.
