Used to?

somebody posted here about warrior-monks a long time ago, referring to Catholics. Familiar with that?

Sikh's are pretty fiesty, too -- I had a cab driver give me an earful once. A great guy, but they carry around those little decorative swords. I don't know anything about them, but I got the feeling I could trust that guy, even after he said, "we're ready to go to war if we have to."
