Counting coup was a battle practice of Native Americans of the Great Plains. A nonviolent demonstration of bravery, it consisted of touching an enemy warrior, with the hand or with a coup stick, then running away unharmed. Risk of injury or death was involved, should the other warrior respond violently. The phrase "counting coup" can also refer to the recounting of stories about battle exploits. It can also involve stealing items from the enemy. The term is of French origin from the verb couper, which means literally to cut, hit or strike. The expression can be seen as referring to "counting strikes". Coups were recorded by notches in the coup stick, or by feathers in the headdress of a warrior who was rewarded with feathers for an act of bravery. Counting coup was referred to in the Star Trek: The Next Generation first season episode, "Code of Honor".

World War 1

Afro-American soldiers in the US Civil War had to ignore any racial slurs that Union white soldiers might say to them. Also, they had to prove that could handle the duties associated with battle action.

From my experience, they consider it bragging rights. However, if the scenario at Fulda Gap had ever happened, Cavalry units would've had cooks who were further ahead of the lines than any of the infantry, so....

Other than that, being in a line unit would prepare you better for any type of Special Forces selection you may wish to attend, and you'd be more likely to be eligible for enlistment bonuses.

Yes. There are height/weight standards you must maintain while you're in, as well. Generally speaking, your height and weight won't necessarily exclude you from enlistment. If you're overweight and/or unable to pass your initial PT test, you'll have to spend time in a Physical Fitness Unit before you ship downrange for Basic Training. If you're too short or too lightweight, it could exclude you from some programmes (such as Airborne School).

A hostler or ostler is a groom or stableman, who is employed in a stable to take care of horses. They might be treated for injuries or illnesses by a veterinarian, and the condition of their feet and shoes was handled by a farrier. However, day to day care of the cavalry mount was by the soldier that rode the horse. A knight would be aided by his squire.

Several. First, swearing at recruits while training them. He swroe at them in french and german, then hired a translatorjust to swear at them in english. Second was camp sanitation. Third, was that he would teach a hundred men 8 hours a day, who would each teach another hundred what they learned, effectively training nearly half the army each day instead of .5% of them

Name of Pakistani army chief is Ashfaq Kiyani

'In Theater' refers to serving in a combat (IE: Afghanistan) or operational (IE: Kuwait) environment.

The reason why flat footed people aren't allowed in the Army is because of the shoes that they have to wear and also because if shooting at a close range they can lose balance of the gunshot won't be effective.

Flat foot people don't usually get into the army because of not only the boots they have to wear, but the Army has to travel by foot a lot. There are already multiple foot problems in the Army and a flat footed person would have many more problems with their feet and possibly hold up their unit. Having flat feet has nothing to do with firing off a rifle.

The above is not true. the doctors at MEPS will tell you if your flat feet are disqualifying or not. If your flat feet are symptomatic (painful) then they will disqualify you, or if you have ever been prescribed custom orthotics by a doctor. If they are asymptomatic (not painful) then the doctor will tell you if you can join or not.

Counter that with what the first Sergeant Major of the Army made when he was selected to that position with 26 years, $657.30.

There is no limit, but size is important in the NFL.
