shiva bro, i come from entrenched military family background, my dad served in queens gurkha signal, my grandad fought in burma and hav marched in the street of tokyo after allied victory, my maternal grandad fought with china from indian gorkha, one of my relative was 2OIC in falkland war who led gurkhas of 7GR, my mamas are serving in different ranks n files of nepal army. my big bro is currrently serving in  nepal army in a rank of major. unfortunately our own nepal army had to engage in internal insurgency and purported gross human right violation against own people that nearly cost them membership of united nation and thus foreign deployment in conflict hit areas around the word, it is one of the best source of income for the servicemen and whole institution. i have respect to all, like crazy horse said, it is the socio-economic reality of nepal not the feel for loyalty or stupidity like any of u all who has migrated elswhere for better opportunity. brainless infantry never wins any battle, the professionalism and bravery of gurkhas are world renowned. they are having a memorial ceremony in belgium at the ieper cemetry in rememberance to gurkhas of WW1. but sadly our own country folk hav different views against them.
