    I am an American and never served with the Gurkha Rifles. However, I did work with Gurkhas in the contracting world. Holy shit, just some of the nicest, most generous folks you could ever hope to meet...and really good at their craft too. All the respect in the world to them and I hope the UK government treats these men as they deserve.

    To show you how tough they really are. The British wanted to make a Gurkha parachute batallion with their ascent of course. The told the Gurkhas that they would drop them over a thousand feet up. The Gurkhas balked which was unbelievable. The British wanted their leaders to discuss this with them. They layed it out to the British. They said a thousand feet was too high but they would jump out at 200 feet. Why The British asked. The replay was because they could not survive a 1000 foot fall but maybe 200. It came to light they didnt understand what a parachute was and were going to jump out of the plane not wearing one.

    We don't have enough of it in the USA.
    At the closing of the Renaissance Fest here in MI, the drum and pipe band does a loop of the grounds lead by the "queen" and everyone is supposed to folow them out, and then theres a big farewell get-down at the gates where they throw hard and rip it up.

    My uncle had played the bass drum for numerous Scottish pipe and drum bands in Johannesburg, but not for the SA Irish, yet he had known the band members and competed against them previously, and when he passed away, the SA Irish stepped in to honour him.
    Yeah, a great wake was held at the SA Irish mess after.

      Foregone conclusion. The Argentine military government of that time drafted thousands of virtually untrained kids from tropical northern provinces, whose officers mostly led from the rear, to set them against seasoned professionals. That said, these young men often showed themselves to be both brave and resourceful in the face of impossible odds. The tragic aftermath of the war, with returning wounded or disabled veterans being shabbily treated by the authorities, was something from which Argentina has never quite recovered. There is still a great deal of anger and resentment.

      One of my cadet trainers told us that during WW2 he and his company were on patrol, they'd just closed down for the night, and he was on sentry duty, facing the fire, as taught, with his back against a tree. Dead silence, but he suddenly felt a hand feeling his collar. He said he daren't jump out of his skin, because he knew full well that the *other* hand would be holding a kukri by his neck.
      Apparently Japanese wore their rank badges on their collar.

    Mario 6026. What Orangemen? Need to change those glasses, Irish Guards are playing a tune called Northern Melody, which incorporated all parts of Ireland. Obviously reading from some misguided Sinn Fein playbook

      @@user-km2bk8zb4m Thank you! It is true we definitely have more in common especially since we are citizens of this land. I am Irish American but our roots trace back to Kerry, County Cork and we have traced the Brennan family tree all the way back to Roman times. History is so very fascinating to me and can also be so very not nice. I hope one day we can all learn from the past to be friends and allies in the present. It doesn't matter where you come from or what your belief- It is all the same God just different ways of worship and beliefs. Take care! Gave a blessed night ! Love, peace and hugs to you and your family!!!😊❤️🙏🙏🙏☘️🌹🌹👻
