  • After nine months of training, 216 new members of the Brigade of Gurkhas passed out of training in Catterick, and into the Field Army.
    Gurkhas are recruited in Nepal in a gruelling selection process, having to beat thousands of other candidates eager to get a place at basic training in the UK.

      @Horn Piper Actually substance use disorders are more prevalent in the USA than in the UK (6.01% vs. 5.42% of the population in 2019) [source: Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, Global Burden of Disease (2019)]. Are you sure you didn't get the other parts of your comment wrong too?

      @Horn Piper Perhaps you should then have used the better intelligence of yours to study the subject of intelligence a little. It's a scientifically proven fact that different nations of the world don't differ in their intelligence. Europe with its welfare is one of the most advanced and prosperous areas in the world, There are a lot of differences between different areas of Europe, though, because Europe is a continent, not a country. Countries like Germany, France and Netherlands differ greatly in prosperity from countries like Albania, Serbia and Bulgaria.

Once they learned that we liked them they warmed up to us. They're great soldiers and I still have a Ceremonial Kukri gifted to me by the youngest Gurkha in their unit.
