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.

The saffron kilts remind me of the South African Irish playing at my late uncles funeral. 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.
