Yes, a Korean vet I worked with just mentioned a hand on his dogtags saying, “OK, GI”. No mound of throat cut North Koreans. :dubious:
Personally, I think it was one of the whores he talked about lifting his wallet.
If you’re interested in some actual stories about Chosin, watch the documentary. It’s on Netflix.
Zombies would make awesome shock troops.
On a related note, my impression is that the Afghans would make very good Gurkhas.
Zombies would not discriminate between the bad guys and the good guys.
Afghans would be open to pay rate discussion from the other side.
“Sign here and you become a citizen of the … Sign here and you become a private in the army, three square meals a day guaranteed.”
Just Say Gurkha.
Gurkha.
eta: damn! ninja’d!
Or they could introduce a mercenaries’ visa.
So this thread isn’t about pickles?
Thats true of all mercenaries, right?
My favorite Gurkha story, which I assume is entirely apocryphal, is from WWII. Supposedly, the word is put out that volunteers are needed for an air drop behind enemy lines. The Gurkhas, being utterly fearless, immediately volunteer. They are then told their parachute training would begin the next day, to which they reply, “We get parachutes?”
Perhaps not the Swiss, and the Finns.
Welcome to the board, Erik B. Since this thread is 12 1/2 years old - the OP refers to “the coming Afghan war” - I am going to close it. If you want to discuss Gurkhas or their history or the ideas the OP suggested, please go ahead and open a new thread.
