Race has nothing to do with war fighting capability.

All are gallant warriors in their own right . Deadliest is a really subjective term . Depends on Morale, Training , Equipment , Personal courage ...and many other things.

We can only get one topic for any sort of meaningful discussions i.e History and all have a long history of bravery on the battlefield.

exactly, good leadership and soldiers with courage, i never understood why ppl think some races are stronger than others.

That s true history has repeated again and again. The thread starter never cared to mention so many other people who have proved to be deadliest. When ur existence is threatened even a chicken turns deadly......

the sikhs were defeated by the purbia ( UP and bihari ) soldiers of the british army during the anglo-sikh wars .

later the sikhs took revenge by helping the british crush the revolt by the purbia troops in the 1857 mutiny .

in both cases the victors were led by british officers .

so it is quality of leadership that counts .

Cant say who is deadlier but Gorkhas are most fearsome..Argentina faced them and ran off..

Race perhaps not but upbringing can if you spend half your life using a kukri and being raised in a warior ethos.

If it was just leadership then the Gurkha's with British officers would be no different from any other regiment with british officers

Mind you if i had to come up against either a Gurkha or a Sikh i would want a 2 mile start a Tac-50 and air support.

I always thought the Japanese tactic of shoting the officers stupid, if i shot the Gurkha i could surrender to the english if i shoot the officer no chance of surendering to the Gurkha.
