Ghurka's are crazy people. There is a true story during Englands first war against them that the Ghurka's had an English group pinned down and the fight was going strong when the English ran out of ammo and raised the white flag The Ghurka's met with them and asked why they were surrendering and on being told the English were out of ammo offered to split theirs with them so they could keep fighting. The English surrendered anyway, were well treated, and shortly after made peace and enlisted the Ghurka's in their army where they have served for another 150+ years. Tough, crazy fighters that just like to fight.
