Wow. Just wow. I'm speechless. I want to have a funeral like that too. This is why people need to keep up some traditions (except terrorist muslims because they are barbarians).

This is mind blowing... I wish we had some kind of cultural war-dance like this where everyone would partake. Very exceptional. I had no idea everyone in NZ can do stuff like this.

This is amazing. True warriors.... Can you imagine the fear they would install when the Maori did this on the battlefield? This is truly one of the best kept traditions and I'm really glad to see it carried on in such a commanding and respectful way. Rest in peace to the fallen soldiers and they couldn't have a better send off.

As a New Zealander, I cannot describe what this means to me and what emotions this brings up. Also a point to note that in normal funerals the Maori use a warrior in battledress, it seems the Army uses snipers in ghillie suits...amazing!!

Kicks "Snackbar's" ass. And remember, after they kill you...they eat you.

I thought the rugby Haka was awesome until I saw this.
Very humbling.
RIP to the fallen.
