A little different from the latest performance in the Persian Gulf ("resistance was not an option").

Here's a song that captures the best of British fighting spirit, Men of Harlech, which was sung by the Royal Welsh Regiment at Rorke's Drift on the 120th anniversary of the battle. http://www.rorkesdriftvc.com/myths/menofharlech.mp3

Good job there were no Iranians on rubber rafts around to surrender to.

These men may have been useful, the current crop are a liabilty.

I have a DVD of the remake. I saw it at the movies when it first came out. Amazing what can be done with a single action rifle. I’ve often wondered what a Cobra helecopter would’ve done to the attacking Zulu.

Brave and heroric battle on both sides.

This article mentions some sort of Zulu weapon used on the Brits called an assegai. Does anybody know what it is?
