Budding Gurkhas BUmp.
The Afghanis were not real happy to learn that the infidel Gurkhas now working there include both Jainists who follow the way of their Nepalese forebears, as well as those exposed to the British who've joined the Church of England.

The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy and drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather to your bosom his wives and his daughters.
-- Temujin, the Genghis Khan, ca. 1226
