I remember reading that during the Falklands War the Argentinians would always run away if they were attacked by Gurkas.

I seem to remember the Argentinians crying foul when they learned the British were sending Gurkhas to that fight--practically accusing the British of a war crime.

I remember the generals saying the same thing when the British sub sank the Argie cruiser with much loss of life. They accused Thatcher of war crimes. Bunch of strutting peacocks with no concept of what war really is. They thought that since they were really good at "disappearing" unarmed civilians they would have no problem facing a real military.
