Watching these clips has brought tears to my eyes. To see groups of young, strong, intelligent men seeking a way to uplift their family's life and provide a better future for their children. I would like to know how many of you in this thread or members of Sajha are Gurkha soldiers? Wherever you are, dear brave soldier,

 I SALUTE YOU FOR YOUR BRAVERY TO SERVE MANKIND!

For most of you, choosing to become a soldier is the only choice you have. Where else many of your countrymen have other choices e.g. engineers, programmers etc. Your training is incredible. Your determination to succeed is amazing. Your loyalty to the one you serve is undying. Does it matter who you serve? Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong, Afghanistan, Maoist? The bottom line is you are serving mankind. Some people think that you are being used. For a lack of a better word, everybody "uses" somebody for their benefits. Of course, you pay to "use" someone's talents, strength, intelligence, loyalty etc.

The Gurkhas from Nepal should be respected for they go where the devil fears to go. That's why their slogan says "Better to die than be a coward". How many of you in Sajha dare to die? See my friends, its easy to talk when we are behind the comfort zone of our home, office, universities etc. But when you are behind the enemies zone, action speaks louder than words. The Gurkhas have chosen to sacrifice their warm loving homes for the cold, heat, hunger, physical denial and play with death every day. They are your countryman.

So, always be proud of them. Always respect them. Always bow down to their bravery.

Jai Nepal! Long live the Gurkhas!
