"Let the war begin," Little said in a Facebook post three months before he was arrested at Brisbane Airport about to board a flight to Port Moresby.

Title: Aussie Terrorist Walks Free Post by True Colours on Sep 26th, 2013 at 7:22pm Brisbane judge sentences would-be mercenary bound for West Papua A Melbourne man who trained to be a mercenary to fight the Indonesian military and police in West Papua has been sentenced to seven months' jail by a District Court judge in Brisbane. Gerard Michael Little, 46, was arrested last December trying to board a flight to Port Moresby. He had earlier completed a five-day mercenary training course in Ukraine and had boasted on social media that he was a colonel in the West Papuan freedom movement. Little pleaded guilty to preparing for an incursion into a foreign state. In sentencing, Judge Douglas McGill described Little's bid to be a freedom fighter as delusional. He said the 218 days Little spent in pre-sentence custody was longer than the sentence he would otherwise have imposed. Little walked free from court today due to the time he had already served... http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-09-26/would-be-brisbane-mercenary-sentenced/4982996 |

Let's hope they do the same thing to those people fighting in Syria.

They should have sent him to Syria instead. Who does he think he is? Chuck Norris?
