> The Sikhs are an honorable warrior race and were among the best troops in the British army where they were always allowed to wear their turbans and beards. The US Army is lucky to have them. I believe they have won at least 6 Victoria Crosses.

IMO The United States Armed Forces would be well advised to make an exception for Sikhs. Let them wear their turbans and beards and carry their kirpan. Like the Gurkhas and the Maori, there are no finer soldiers on this planet than the Sikhs.

Have a read about this battle: 21 Sikhs against 12,000 muslims at the Battle Of Saragarhi. Fought to the last man and died in battle rather than surrender, just like the Greeks at Thermopylae.

Rules are for the guidance of the wise and the obedience of fools: in this case, the rules should be bent.

The Saragarhi battle was intersting though. Never heard of it. I took a look at your link and intend to read it later so i can give itt the slow thoughtful read it looks to deserve.

Last stands are amazing. Wiki has a list of “last stands”. There were many incredible ones i had never heard of. Wonder if its on that list.

Or the Texans at the Alamo?
