Fun fact: making into Arditi was already hard and the training was the hardest. Some of the Arditi died during training. Their hand to hand prowess wasn't just because they had a knife: they studied a 15th century military manual that had a lot of dagger fighting situations, joint locks, wrestling and anything useful for really close encounters. Few of them carried pistols, preventing cross fire incidents in the trenches.

"Our task was to support Matteo's battalion. We were a proud unit. We changed the war for Italy. The Arditi."

When I was in the Yorkshire Regiment of the British army, I trained with the Gurkhas once. I got to hear them talk, fight and March. I have nothing but the upmost respect for them and all I can say is I’m glad their on our side

My grandfather was a US Army engineer in the India-China-Burma campaign. He commanded a unit of black engineers attached to a British engineering outfit. Attached to this outfit were gurkhas, who provided security during daylight building operations (the Burma Road) and night time patrols. Grandfather said he had the greatest respect for them. If, as an officer you told them No One gets into this building, then, you were likely to find a dead body outside the building, typically a Japanese soldier. He said they were pure killers.

As a New Zealander and Māori, I love how you represented my people with honour and let us keep our mana as warriors, thank you.
And I love your content, keep it up 👍🏻

The Apache and Commanche bands went hard whenever it came to war. What looked like guerrilla warfare to us was another day of survival as a way of life for them.

Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw famously stated:

"When a soldier says they are not afraid to die; they are either lying, or is a Gurkha."

Imagine a Valhalla, where all these warriors get to eternally rest and tell stories of their triumphs..

[JackRabbit]

I would have been very disappointed if the Gurkhas never made the list in all honesty Those Mountains breed the best of fighting men and are a credit to their own people and Britain's Armed Forces 🤟🏻Much respect!

[valerianocosta]

Just imagine an Ardito making the Haka, and bracing a Zulu shiled and holding a Kukri and with some Comanche feather in the hat and with a kilt, you're basically done...

[colincolin]

My grandad fought with the Gurkhas many times, he was a tank commander and he said they would sit on the tank or jog next to the tank 😅 they’re unbreakable…

My kids and I every night or 2 will watch one of your videos for story time. Thank you for providing content that is researched and inspires the need to remember the amazing histories of the world. We enjoy it all!

The full Gurkhas battle cry is “Glory to Great Kali, The Gurkhas are upon you!”
