There was a robbery a few years ago where 40 bandits attacked and stopped a train in India. Onboard was a gurkha on his way home.
He did not have a gun.
He stopped the robbery.

They used to sneak into the rooms of sleeping German soldiers and cut their bootlaces for fun

There are tens of thousand of applicants every year for the British Gurkha brigade, and the British choose only about 250 of em. They choose only the the best, and spend almost a year training em.

United states army also keeps hired Gurkhas as sentries for their naval base in Bahrain and they're commonly invited to tag along in day to day operations in the area.

Gurkhas are like modern day spartans, they're given their first knife the day they can walk so it's no wonder they're welcomed in to any army they wish to join

And that's exactly how it starts. First, you aren't scared. Then they kill you.
