"The Ghurkas are Britain's 'oldest ally in Asia.' The Ghurkas have fought alongside British soldiers, 200,000 fought in the first and second world wars alone and 43,000 lost their lives. Since then, they have fought in the Falklands and currently in Iraq and Afghanistan."
I've only trained with the Gurkhas but I'll tell you this. They are the punch bags for Officer training in the UK - They play 'the enemy' in all Sandhurst exercises. We took them prisoner, cuffed them, pick them up, ran with them, didn't notice that our rifles were bouncing off their faces with every step, dragged them through unimaginable filth, hunted them (never without them knowing it), shot at them (blanks can still hurt and training granades are still loud), screamed at them, restrained them, applied force (they can get cheeky in role play and it becomes self defence.) and stepped on them in the dark.
And after all this, when the end whistle goes. They'll grin at you and say "very good sir, thank you, would you like a sweet?"
This would be a lesser country without Gurkhas.
