The funny thing abt them is that if you put them on a flat surface to run.... they can't run straight...cos they are so used to running on uneven ground in Nepal. in their minds, the idea of straight and level is on an incline....so travelling by air would def be something new for them initially...

When the Gurhkas first come out of the hills most have never even seen a plane so they don't know the dangers involved.

Aren't there stories about Gurhkas sneaking up on enemy sentries and identifying them by feeling their shoelaces before killing them?

I'd hate to go down that way, some kick-butt soldiers for sure

Supposedly they felt the German helmet for identifying purposes.I find this hard to believe,as if your that close to your enemy,the Kukra is doing it's thing!!!
