Again, another commonwealth country. I still feel like its the wrong path for the USA to follow a British example. But I could be swayed if there is a compelling reason to think they have earned it by demonstrating absolute loyalty to America. But never just as a multicultural sop to political correctness.

Somehow, they need to learn to hold a Kabar knife, and to feel the same way about it as they do their curved one.

You mean their Kirpan, the ceremonial dagger they carry? It’s actually blunt, and not used as a weapon (unlike the Gurkha’s kukuri knife).

Carrying the Kirpan is one of their religious precepts (I just barely understand this — a Sikh would be better at explaining it). It is roughly analogous to Catholics wearing a cross.

The Sikh would use the Ka-bar as his weapon, 100% every time.
