GURKHA SOLDIERS ARE THE ONES I WANT ON MY SIDE. THEY ARE BRAVE AS LIONS, FIERCE AS TIGERS, THEY GET RESPECT AND FEAR FROM THEIR ENEMIES, AND THEY ARE INVALUABLE ALLIES.
DID YOU KNOW...
WHEN A GURKHA DRAWS HIS "KHUKURI" ITS FOR BLOOD, AND he, CAN NOT RETIRE THE WEAPON WITHOUT IT, BE HIS OWN BLOOD, OR THAT OF THE ENEMY!

Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill
