"When you know you are with the Gurkhas there is no safer place to be" - Prince Harry
One of the cool things that people do knot know about Gurkhas, is that the tribal family names like Gurung and several others that compromise the majority of the Gurkha ranks are,actually Mongolian in Origin.
I had the honor if not the privilege of working with many Gurkhas from either the Uk, Indian, or Nepal armies in places like Afghanistan, the middle east, north Africa. You wont find a nicer bunch of guys unless you make the mistake of pissing them off. If you ever find yourself in pokhara , Nepal be sure to check out the monument and museum dedicated to these diminutive mercenaries.
"Ayo Gurkhali!"
