  • John Cleese would fit right in here..... :D

  • who said that these indian-pakistan soldiers are going for fight its a ceremonial tradition btw india-pakistan

  • Do any of ou think they are that fucking stupid? Its fun, its a spectacle.

  • @PatientZero532 Really, how did you come to that conclusion? Have you forgotten Tipu Sultan already... I'm not saying the British army is not great, of course they are, probably the one of the best in the world, but they faced sheer resistance from Muslims and Hindus alike when they went to India took them almost 150 years of trying to get in, and that was partly due to the differences between the religions etc....

  • It`s good to see they can work together on something and also cheer for the same reason!!

  • As military ceremonies of the world go... this is SHEER BUFFOONERY.

    The British Army trained them in the days of the empire, when they were one nation, before the formation of Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Though they have kept remnants of the uniform and drill, you can see how they've fucked it up over time. Laughable, and idiotic.

  • Ridiculous nationalism

  • That's amazing... much prefer they do that than shoot at each other!...... Although I'd even more prefer if they'd just get back to playing a nice friendly game of cricket against each other on a regular basis instead of their normal political arguments!!!!

  • Well worth a visit!

  • Wish the partition had never happened....
