Goldenbird Chapter 3-6
Falco in action.
***GOLDENBIRD***
It’s the Modern World, the End of Times, the Decline of the West, the Revolt of the Masses. It’s the 1920’s. It’s going to be Very Silly.

Come one, Falco, jump over the wall! You can do it!
It should actually be possible to climb over it, using the cliff. It’s not very high …

Now, he IS an Alpini veteran, you know…
Originally I thought he should be ordinary infantry, but the Alpini have such cute hats:

The other elite corps of the Italian army, the Bersaglieri, are just too much with their big bunch of feathers and running around instead of marching.

And don’t get me started on the Arditi:

Well, then he can probably climb it without problems, right?
Ooh, can’t wait until the next page …
Though he should perhaps have used the speed he had when he came running. He could have just jumped up a few steps on the cliff, and swung himself over the wall. (If this was a kung fu comic, that is.)

Mmm, Oriental martial arts…
I just read on the Arditi page that ju-jutsu was a part of their training already in 1917. Maybe the Alpini specialised in kung-fu (after all, they were sent to fight in the Boxer Rebellion in 1900…).
