Gurkhas, what do those from the UK think of them ?

[Dia bando]

A few months ago I saw a TV program "Deadliest Warrior" which pitted these little crazy people against the French Foreign Legion and predicted that Gurkhas would prevail.



Anyway they seem to be an important part of the military history of the UK and receive a lot of praise for their tenacity.


"If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or is a Gurkha."


"Bravest of the brave, most generous of the generous, never had country more faithful friends than you."

Can I say the Gurkha s, have been a part of the British Army for many year's and they have given there
live's for this country from WW2 to present day. How do you judge them the Bravest of the brave
with out a doubt.

As a Brit, Im more than happy to have them on our side rather than us fighting against them!
They are so loyal to the Queen it's carzy, and recently in the UK, Joanna Lumley fought for their rights regarding pensions which went to Parliment and eventually got passed. How on earth we can expect them to fight for us, then not to offer them a pension is ridiculous, after a huge outcry from the British public we managed to secure them pensions and honour them with such.

I'm based at the same barracks as the gurkhas so I know first hand that they are good guys. They are in separate squadrons but we work alongside them. They are hard workers, very fit and hard working. They are a lot more reserved than the brits but they are confident.

good post.

We are treating them very poorly considering the history they have with us. They are being made redundant and have had to fight for their pensions. Great loyalty from us for the bravery they have shown.

Thanks for the posts gentlemen. These little guys certainly deserve Britain's gratitude for their service.
