I agree freebooter, but Spiral did misquote on post 6 of this thread, and has still failed to give an explanation?

My 2 cents about the whole subject has been expressed before and without quotes from books or generals or otherwise and that is I think it is folly to consider that no Gurkha at any time in any place in any conflict never carried a kukri other than the issued...it can never be proved one way or the other...I think it is safer to say the VAST majority towed the line and there could have been others who didn't for one reason or another....there is no absolute perfection where humans are concerned, no matter how noble ....this old chestnut has been flogged to death....

I am talking about a misquote and a misleading quote Freebooter.
You are of course entitled to your opinion about Gurkha Rifleman potentially carrying their own kukri pre-1947, but that is not what the argument is about, all Spiral has to do, is answer why he misquoted! a fair and reasonable request. |
