When Gurkhas See The Sea For The First Time • GURKHA SELECTION | Forces TV

What could be better than trying the Great British dish of fish 'n' chips for the very first time? Hannah King's accompanied the latest Gurkha recruits to Whitby - where they’ve been learning some history, practising their English, and trying the local cuisine. Here’s how they got on...

[@donfelipe7510]

Absolutely the Gurkhas have stood side by side British and other commonwealth soldiers through some very dark times. People say that the tradition of taking young Nepalese men into our armed forces is a legacy of Empire and therefore automatically a bad thing. I disagree, these men are volunteers, not conscripts and they receive a lot of opportunities that would otherwise not be available in Nepal which is still a very poor country. They're like the British equivalent of the French Foreign Legion.

[@dickmonkey-king1271]

@@adamm3565 That's not how economics works. The value of how much you get paid can only be known by how much things cost. For example, a UK solider gets paid £10 an hour because it costs an average of £10 to buy a dinner, for example. In Nepal they get paid £1 an hour because it costs £1 to buy the same meal. It's entirely relative. If Gurka's earned what UK solider earned then Gurka's would live like kings compared to the UK soldiers, so equal pay is actually unequal for the UK soldiers. Most Gurka's will still want to live in Nepal because it is their home. But if they got paid the same amount as UK soldiers then they'd be so rich that every young man in Nepal would grow up just so focused on becoming a Gurka. Why would you train to be a lawyer or a doctor if you can earn 100x more being a Gurka?
