What does rockasan mean in reference to the 101 airborne?
"Rakkasan" is, when loosely translated from Japanese to English; Paratrooper or Parachute. The 187th Airborne REGIMENT fought originally as part of the 11th Airborne Division during WW2 in the Pacific. Intercepted Japanese radio transmissions during WW2 indicated that "Rakkasans" were paratroopers; the men of the 187th Regiment liked the name, and adapted it as their "nickname." When the 187th Regiment deployed to Vietnam, they were part of the 101st Airborne Division. It was the 187th that took the brunt of the fight for Hamburger Hill in 1969. the 187th Airborne Regt. Combat Team was relieved from the 11th Airborne Division in 1950 and deployed to Korea. In 1951 there was a 3 day pass prize for the best patch submitted by members of the 187th (in Beppu, Japan) That is how the patch of the 187th Airborne RCT originated. I might add that I did NOT win the 3 day pass for best shoulder patch design for the 187th Airborne RCT............

Who is better british paras or Russian paras?
Para's or Paratroopers do not make that comparision. They are elite troops that represent the best of their respective countries. Paratroopers are all one big fraternity and have a mutual respect of each other, regardless of nationality. While they might be poltical enemies, they still regard each other as the same: those who chose to be the best. On the contary to the guy above me's opinion. They don't share mutual respect. No force has mutual respect just look at all the elite feuds that go on today, Para's and US airborne (and now Russian Airborne), Para's and Royal Marines, SAS and SBS, SAS and Delta force, SAS and the SEALs, 101st and 82nd, US army and USMC, Royal Marine's and USMC. All will say they are the best and could beat one another to a bluddy pulp easily, but truthfully they can't. If their was a fight between the Parachute Regiment and the Russian Airborne, then the Para's would probably gain the upper hand but it's also likely a stalemate would be introduced and a stand off would then take place. The Para's would have the upper edge of tech, equipment and alliances but the Russian's have the man power and don't have a government willing to go into a war but not willing to then fight it properly *cough* Afghanistan* Cough (I'm British and have a very, very, very, very low opinion of all politicians from the past 15 years) but knowing the Para's they probably would still win because of their sheer determination and resourcefulness. And that with one phone call then at the minute they can have the RAF and USAF bomb Ivan to pieces!
