        Kudos.
        \_ I knew before even clicking on the link that he was a Gurkha. It is
           rumored that during WWII the Italians would desert if they
           discovered that they were facing Gurkhas.
           \_ Or was it because the op said he was from Nepal.
              \_ Are all Nepalese soldiers Gurkas?
                 \_ In the UK Army? Yes. It's pretty strange for the UK army to
                    still be raising regiments in Nepal, but it works because of the
                    Gurkha regiments' history of being bad ass, and they only take
                    the best. And they get to settle in the UK afterwards. More or less.

           \_ Yawn.  Will you be talking about Gurkhas and the Taliban when
              china invades?
        \_ Come Mr. Taliban, tally me banana...
