The greatest fighting battalions in history are Scottish, Irish and Welsh... Check the history. The Rifles and ParaShite Regiment have some of the worst casualty statistics, where as the others lose but a few, and it's all down to skills and drills. Old regiments are old for a reason, because they, like their Soldiers, know how to survive. Young upstart cnuts like the Trifles and ParaShite Reg should be axed to make way for more kilted heroes. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-442909239199162925.post-47641271112638525072012-06-08T11:35:24.096+02:002012-06-08T11:35:24.096+02:00I'd say yes, definitely.
