One serious unit. I have read about them, but I have never met a girka.

Not people to mess with. They have a reputation to uphold, and I'm sure they are willing to do it.

Great shots, SSA! Not the kind of folks that I would want against me!

The kukri, in the hands of ghurka, is about the best combat blade that you can get. It is the convergence of the right man/right weapon. These guys get my respect. No Doubt!

It has been mt privelege to know a Brit - wonderful gentleman - who once commanded the Bridage of Ghurkas. As my colleagues from the other side of The Pond have observed, "You don't talk back to a guy who used to lead all those fellows with their bloody long knives."

Gurkha story:

I heard this from a US Marine. In the Falkland War (1982) an Argentine unit was facing a British unit on one side and a Gurkha unit on the other.

The Argentines surrendered to the Brits.

I wonder why the train with the Indian made INSAS rifle.

I am also surprised that the MoD has not replaced the Carl Gustaf 84mm anti-tnk weapon.

Ghurkas are the third-world equivalent to SEALS -- or, actually, more likely -- Special Forces.

I wouldn't want to mess with them...or even try to run away from them, from the look of them.
