You know who else became reliant on foreign soldiers?

Damn... I was hoping for a Hitler reference.

/ 5th SS Division Wiking
// Those Nords fought like bastards

Um, no obvious tag?

He was a Warrant Officer in the King's African Rifles.

Yeah, but the Ost Battalions? Not so much.

I was tempted to go the cliche route, mention the Blue Division and so forth but meh. You can't go wrong with Rome.

And do you see that winged thing above all those ribbons? That's an IDF paratrooper wings.
We gave him the course back in the late 60's.

/Sigh... We should have let him take the bad parachute

"But...we have eaten the Sirkar's salt!"

I thought this had been the norm for hundreds of years.

lolmao666: Well the nazis SS used foreign people in their army, on the eastern front mostly.

There was chinese, japanese, british, tibetan monks, arabs... all kind of shiat soldiers, there was even a SS regiment of foreigners... well the big superpower needed mans for a war on two fronts.. three fronts... just like the US. (the third front is africa)

There are plenty of Ethiopians without any US intervention. Abyssinian emperors have been strolling down from the highlands to smack their Moslem coastal-dwelling neighbors for centuries; to somehow believe this is only a modern occurrence at the behest of the United States is lunacy. Ethiopia doesn't need anyone to tell them to hate Eritrea or their lackeys in Somalia.

The US has a lot of non US citizens serving as well. The military actually advertises in foreign magazines as an expedited path to citizenship...

I think it is a little questionable, but I don't really have a serious problem with it I guess...

Let me be the first to welcome our foederati overlords.

Isn't Britain itself about 90% foreigners nowadays?

3,000 Gurkhas, what's the problem? Those are some hard ass mf.

If they have proven themselves loyal and have served honorably, who gives a shiat where they're from?

I'll take a hundred foreigners in my unit instead of this tard:

The Blue Division... not too many English-speaking folks know that one.

But you're right - you can't go wrong with Rome.

Hang on, I'm an English speaker and even I know who the Blue Division were. A divisions worth of Spanish volunteers who fought around Lenningrad. One of the few "foreign" volunteer corps that didn't become part of the SS. (Of course, until it was disbanded and a bunch of the vets joined the SS)

Arriba Espana!
