    Of all the scary murdery bastards that ever lived throughout humanity's bloody history, if I had one choice on someone I *wouldn't* want to fight, it'd be WW2 era Commandos.

      Even worse, the scariest of all scary mother fuckers, ww1 vets..... Think coil spring batons with a metal cube striking heads: standard issue trench mace, giant spiked gauntlets were also officially issued...... World War I trench fighting was so crazy one soldier wrote a poem about blood poppies, there was so much blood in the chewed up dirt in no man's land that flowers were growing off of it, flamethrowers were used, machine guns were so new that people still did Calvary charges into machine gun placements, on Christmas in 1918 I believe the Allies started a million round shelling sortie because English and German troops heard each other singing Christmas carols on Christmas Eve they stopped fighting and went over and started talking to each other and exchanging gifts..... High command didn't like that.
      WW1 was the most brutal & stupid meat grinder fighting that ever happened, it was old style warfare tactics with modern mechanized weapons and no rules yet because the Geneva convention didn't exist.

      Christopher Lee was a good example. When Peter Jackson started to direct Lee in his scene where he, as Saruman, gets knifed by Grima Wormtongue, Lee stopped Jackson and explained that he knew exactly what kind of noise someone getting stabbed makes; from his time in the OSS in WWII. Savage stuff.

Great bloke , fantastic instructor , use to live in the field with you on annual camp and run rings around the regular army instructors . Sometimes we use to meet him at Finsbury barracks draw our no 4,s Lee Enfields and Brens and go to Purbright and shoot to our hearts content no shortage of ammo then , it was Great . Thinking about it between 15 and 16 COY we had men who had served at Arnham and Pegasus bridge they were salts of the earth fair ,funny, but you knew they had been forged under a diffrent hammer . Stan use to have a no3 Lee Enfield and use to shoot it left sided having lost his eye ...fast and accurate , Taught us unarmed combat and how to fight with the FS knife and a 1000,s uses of a toggle rope ....Could out sprint most of the lads when we played football and loved a hamlet or small type cigar to boot ......Great bloke ,Great times ....covinced me to joining up ,then loved taking the piss about me being a Bootneck .......Happy days .

      Yet during the beginning and middle of sleep i feel so content and at peace.....
      Ive always thought i was fighting to come back :/
      I also had a similar dream when i was 8-9 just after my nan died but i assumed it was her.......and she my guardian angel.
      (im not religious in any form but guardian angel is the closest terminology that fits)
      Ill never forget walking scared through the darkness only to find a lady of light who sat at a table, who asked me to sit at the table, who took my hands and explained what was going to happen, while looking into my eyes and smiling. she said its going to be hard, their will be problems and painful experiences but never forgot i will always be with you and keep you safe until it is time.....
      I came down stairs that morning and told my mother and she burst out crying as my nan had passed a couple of days before and she had not told any of the children yet....
      This has really changed my outlook, cannot thank you enough for this!!!
      This is what the Internet is for 👌

Every time, in the front feeling like a big boy and one day as we got into the car i decided i wanted to sit in the back seats, my friends mother questioned this and asked me several times if i would change my mind, i just said no im ok, half way through the journey she even mentioned she was lonely up the front without our conversation and asked if was ok......
      10minutes later we went around the corner at about 60mph and hit a horse in the road, it destroyed the entire front passenger side, pushed the roof up and the horse hit the front passenger seat so hard it collapsed it into the rear...... Along with the a large part of horse..

      People who base their morals on laws and not the other way around are idiots. Just because something is legal or illegal it does not mean that it is right or wrong. You are killing another human being, it is murder.
      Also to call voluntarily enroling to a service in which you know you will murder people is not self defense. They fight for "causes" and not just for self protection.

    The talk about throat cutting makes me remember an anatomy teacher I had who was an ex soldier. There were all sorts of military history analogies for things such as Achilles tendons and US and Australian special forces taking prisoners in Vietnam but his class was when I learned how throats were properly cut by the military when the lesson was regarding the structure of the neck (the jugular vein, carotid artery, trachea etc.) and he described it almost identically "you don't draw the knife across the throat, you'll cause them some pain but there's a good chance they make some noise or survive without a fatal or incapacitating wound, you punch it in a few inches back and then give a real good push forward as you pull it out, you destroy everything vital and remove their ability to call out"
    Good lesson as I remember it to this day haha

    I have one of those. Very thin blade, but for the intended use, it's excellent. The two inventors had good insights in close quarter combat. One common (?) improvement was to grind down the handle to get two opposite flat rugged surfaces, so that you could feel exactly how the knife was positioned in the hand as well as provide a better grip.
