There’s an old story from the Falklands War. Supposedly an Argentine unit found out the UK troops opposite them were Gurkhas. All the Argies fled to the rear.

They were smart to have fled. Gurkhas are fearless warriors and they never recover from it. I’ve read about heroic things they have done after leaving military service. Good people and great warriors.

Known for their Kukhari and they are just as fierce with battle weapons.

Several times I thought I wanted to own a Kukhari, but decided there is a lot to be learned in order to use it. The mind is the most powerful weapon.
