[QUOTE=aydin690;28805938]What's a gurkha?[/QUOTE] Sort of like a sweeter Pickleh.
I'm glad the Ghurkas fight for the British Army. I would not want to be their enemy.
[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;28800449]...and they have the whole draw your weapon draw blood code of honour thing.[/QUOTE]Thats a load of old shit, i work with Gurkhas all the time at a M.o.D compound, its just folk lore...
[QUOTE=madmax678;28843572]Thats a load of old shit, i work with Gurkhas all the time at a M.o.D compound, its just folk lore...[/QUOTE] Yeah, it is a load of shit. Kukris are used for loads of things. Hell, you can actually cut firewood with them, if you wanted to try. I live near Folkestone, where a large number of Gurkhas live. You see them pegging it down the beach as "light exercise". Fucking badasses.

Fucking badasses.[/QUOTE] I use mine to chop wood, skinned a rabbit with it once too. Got the real deal none of that "Cold Steel" shit. We get quite a lot of Gurkhas in north Kent as well. They are pretty nice guys. [editline]28th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Bad)-(and;28843418]I'm glad the Ghurkas fight for the British Army. I would not want to be their enemy.[/QUOTE] They were once. Thats how they came to serve with us, we had a war with them, neither side won and then they decided to join us.
Badass. Lolwut at the ratings.
[QUOTE=sami-elite;28801827]British seems to be better prepared for close combat encounters. Or perhaps they are taught to use whatever you have to defend yourself. Or all that is imaginary and US troops are just not as good news.[/QUOTE] It's just that the British Army Doctrine is rather aggressive, and especially that of Gurkha regiments. Maybe its a throwback from expecting to fight waves of Soviets in built up areas. [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8252974.stm[/url] Fixing bayonets is pretty standard practice.

[QUOTE=shatteredwindow;28800449]Gurkhas are the fucking shit. My granddad got stabbed by one before because he had a team of Gurkha body guard, and they have the whole draw your weapon draw blood code of honour thing, but it was a false alarm, so they stabbed him.[/QUOTE] So what happens when they clean them?
[QUOTE=Capitulazyguy;29239849]So what happens when they clean them?[/QUOTE]It doesn't happen, its Folklore.
