well if it don't I'll be bumping it 'till Friday
And me, to which point how about Gurkha stories of which there are countless numbers?
When a cadet we had an Army instructor who had the honour to be attached to the Gurkhas in WW2. He led a patrol in Burma. Every evening they would stop, set up the radio and he would listen in for the latest Sitreps. He would brief his men on where the Japs were now thought to be and plan an attack. He said that they would then dig a trench, tie him up and place him in it. His orders would be carried out to the letter, the Jap position taken and consolidated. A runner would then be sent back to release the Sahib so that he could rejoin them. Their logic for all this was that the radio told them what they needed to know to kill Japs, but only the Sahib could understand it, so he had to be kept alive at all costs!
OK maybe he was spinning a yarn, but like all such stories about these excellent troops, one based on fond respect for their bravery and loyalty.
Let him in!
