Nov 15, 2008 - The battle of Rorke's Drift is the most ENORMOUS BULLSHIT of the history of the British Army. If they were really "4,000 Zulu warriors against 139 Redcoats", the Brits would have been all killed. In reality, they were only 600 Zulus, some of which had outdated flintlock muskets, against 150 British -of which, only 9 were so "ill" not to be able to defend themselves. The Brits had all MARTINY-HENRY RIFLES, with 20,000 rounds of ammunition; 19,000 were spent. Only 370 Zulus were killed.
