I recall during the Falkland Island war the only troops that landed on Argentine soil were 100 Gurkha's with their Khukuri.
There were 1,000 Argentine soldiers with rifles.
When the Argentine soldiers saw the Gurkha's the dropped their rifles and fled.
Nice!

Ha, that was funny. The Taliban must have gotten bad intel thinking only 30 of them could take a Gurkha. They must have thought they were fighting a burka; I can see where they’d be confused. I want to buy that soldier a case of Scotch.

I said it this morning, and I reiterate:
Chuck Norris wears Gurkha pajamas.

The Gurkha replied, ‘Parachutes? No-one mentioned parachutes!’I think in WWII, the red army made low altitude drops without parachutes directly into snow.

I thought the Brits had phased out the Gurkha regiments years ago when they gave up Hong Kong.
