for so much bravery or even for money, you know how much these poor Gurkha soldiers were paid in comparison with the british soldier of similar rank. It is such a shame that they call you 'brave' and give you 'peanuts'.

I think it is only recently that they have been paid better. It is really sad how we Nepalis get so proud when someone else call us 'Brave' and consider us 'cheap labor' and uses the same soldiers in the forefront in the war in Kosovo so that if anything happens they killed first. With such a brave history, there seem to be so much exploitation within.
