The US could charter its own elite unit like the Ghurkas. I'll call them the "East Coast Intellectual Special Operations Group." While the Ghurkas' motto is It's better to die than be a coward", our ECISOG motto is: "its better to be a coward than to die." While the Ghurkas' use use the kukri, our ECISOG will only be outfitted with binkies, to soothe any anxiety from combat stress. While the Ghurkas' rush their opponents, throw down their rifles, and slit the enemy's throats, our ECISOG will rush the enemy, throw down their rifles, and curl up in a ball and whimper. The enemy, being taken by surprise by this totally unexpected and equally ludicrous display, will be shot in the eye by US Army regulars waiting in the wings. Victory is ours! Derek
