Sharpe's peril 6

[MajBlood]

It was weird because Wormwood was good at the start.

[MajBlood]

Ugh I hate looking at Simerson's old man nipples.

@oldsmobile1982

Sounds to me like there needs to be a rechargeable version engineered.

[Ragitsu]

@oldsmobile1982

Battery chargers.

[NobleKorhedron]

@oldsmobile1982: Phew!!

[reflekterdrummer]

Simmerson! By god, flog him man!

[dewytripp]

0:41 right you sons of whoores XD

[kingsman565]

Ha! Like the british never massacred whole villages in india.

[cypruskev]

@kingsman565 yes and the yanks took to a new level in nam eh ?

[thesquirreltree]

At 9:23 theres a spanish flag in the background! =O

I think...

[ColScots726]

@thesquirreltree i think your right!

[dewytripp]

you sons or hoors XD

[burnticeblues]

god its like them coming across a village in modern helmand, just not so badly destroyed. i wonder what sharpe would make of 'bombing'

[NobleKorhedron]

@burnticeblues: Considering the Taliban/hostile warlords probably have plenty of leftover stingers, I'd say they're not too concerned. 

[Airmad2]

Spell it right? You're as bad as the first guy.  Commission.

[NeliasLucas01]

cause if you where rich you could by your comishion

[KILLAMAVERICK53]

Spell it right! Comission.

[HarperBlade]

@NeliasLucas01 i believe you couldn't officially buy a commission into the general ranks, the highest being lt.colonel. But unofficially money has influence and probably lots of generals attained their ranks with outside influences.

[parabat7]

@HarperBlade U are slightly confused. One could not buy a commission into field ranks - major and colonel - nor general ranks - brigadier (not always a cited rank), Major-general, Lt. general: (full general and field-marshall were royal appointments, still are). One could buy ensign (second lieutenant), lieutenant and captain and until Cardwell's reforms (Acts from 1870 to1881) and start at captain. Cardwell forced start at ensign, no jumping but by 1881 had stopped commission purchase.

[b0ywithhat]

@parabat7

No, I think hes right. Atleast during the Napoleonic wars

[am1966ath]

@parabat7 what about wealthy gentlemen setting up their own troops??

[parabat7]

@am1966ath Cardwell's reforms stopped private armies under the Crown. Lord Cardigan - Heavy Brigade - Crimean War perhaps last major example. There are plenty of 'private' East India Company armiesà la Blackwater - mentioned in later Sharpes. Not concerned with homeland defence although gets murky Warren Hastings GovGen India - UK equiv. of impeached - corruption.

Legal loophole allows Duke of Atholl to keep his army e'en this day.

Period 1660 to 1783 (end US war) private troops.

[b0ywithhat]

@HarperBlade

Like the Duke of Wellington

[BeefyStoner]

How the hell would Simison ever make gerneral? the very thought is ridiculous.

[rifal004]

money, Money and Money.

[Mandelbrotmat]

God, sean's looking old!(but still a bad-ass)

[TheKiaaran]

2:00

nice nipple hair!

[albierte]

The harvest is opium for the The East India Company. These guys are drug lords.

[mymagnoliatree]

The Opium Wars - not Britain's finest hour.

[richardcadbury]

I presume "the company" they've been talking about for the whole film is the east india company?

[CJL1194]

weee must save the hobbits

[Lachausis]

The little ones

[CJL1194]

[Allblacks190]

[spiritgirl2796]

[dobspau]

[mmanning4]

love how sharpe just takes command of fings without rank

[hmhbanal]

Joubert and Dragomirov= potential 19th-century druglords, haha!

[Fedaykin4321]

@hmhbanal ....ever picked up a history book? People have been doing drugs for a LONG time, so there have pretty much always been drug lords or something like them.

[passport287]

@hmhbanal More so like 21st century politicians I find....

[Malcolmwxw]

@hmhbanal Back then opium wos legal.Plus i thing you never heard of the opium war.The Opium Wars, also known as the Anglo-Chinese Wars, divided into the First Opium War from 1839 to 1842 and the Second Opium War from 1856 to 1860, which the Belligerents British Empire and French Empire (1856-1860) and naturally the United States from (1856 and 1859) wos involved as well.And that wos for the control of the opium market.
