I think the world can forget that there are other countries giving up the blood of their son's in Afghanistan. This is such a powerful send off:

Wow....

Actually makes me want to ditch the US army, and move to NZ.

Why can't everyone get along like that? Imagine if European immigrants and Native Americans assimilated into a single culture...or at least if more than a handful of immigrants bothered to learn something instead of performing genocide. It would be beautiful.

I wonder if it's a requisite for graduating the NZ version of Kindergarten to know and be able to perform the Haka?


It just seems that literally EVERYONE in New Zealand knows it (not that this is a bad thing... it puts all synchronized activities in the US to shame)

Sorry...I stay with the US Army...we're paid better

We may be, but at least in my case, I've put up with enough to be making SGM pay...


Also, some unit "traditions" here are abit crap, to say the least.

Want to hear a good one. We're the only ones that can actually sing cadence on a run or a march

No, you're just the only ones to bother doing it.

Although certain segments of the IDF also did it (only with more profanity and in arabic) - during the 90s "disputed zone" conflicts at least.
