If I had a regiment of Gurkhas and my old platoon, I believe that we would kick the Talibans butts up past their shoulders and we would be kicking them until the Taliban's noses would be bleeding. The Gurkhas are a jam up unit. I wish that the American military had a regiment.

In WW2, my dad was a US, B-25 Mitchell, bomber pilot, stationed in N. Africa. Flying into Morocco, and moving eastward across Africa, as the Germans fell back. And bombing up into Europe. Eventually, their base was Corsica. But... But alll through the various bases they had in N. Africa. The Gurka's guarded the planes at night, from sabotage. And as my dad said.... When the sun went down....nobody would ever venture out of their camp, to go down near the planes. As while you may not see them...you'd find yourself with Gurkas right behind you. That you didn't take the chance they might mistake you for someone else. That they never ever once, had anybody touch or get near a plane. And the GI's never risked being near the planes at night. Dad could not speak highly enough, as to how outstanding the Gurkas were.

[@MrScall35]

@Dynamic Overlord.. Has the responsibility for the recruitment of soldiers not been handed to a civilian company? I read an article not so long ago that said thousands apply each year for the army but eventually withdraw their applications due to the long winded application process. Some are left waiting for 12 months and beyond. When I applied in the mid 80's I walked into the local recruitment office in February. By the end of April I'd completed all my assessments at Sutton Coldfield and been given a start date of July to begin basic training.

During Hong Kong's colonial days, my friends and I, three women and three men in our twenties, were hiking in Sai Kung when the hell, oops sorry, when hails as big as golf balls started to fall on our bodies. We ran the hell, yes hell, with our sacks on our heads, out of the wild and onto the road. We stopped a Land Rover of the Hong Kong Garrison with Gurkhas speaking little English. Unable to communicate much, to the horrors of the servicemen, we simply pushed our three girlfriends on board and waved them, the Gurkhas, away. After some internal communications among themselves, the Land Rover drove off, with reluctance on the Gurkhas' faces - well, understandably, they are servicemen and must be on orders to do something else. We met our friends about two hours later and they have nothing but thanks and high praises to the Gurkhas who treated them as much as gentlemen could do in a cramped environment. The kind Gurkhas dropped them in the Sai Kung town area. A delightful piece of memory. Thank you, Gurkhas. You are not only brave soldiers, you are also kind gentlemen when the circumstances justify.
