This is a very peculiar post. The Ghurkas are no better or worse shot than any British soldier; they don’t possess any indigenous skill set that a British recruit has. Their motivation is to escape poverty. The Ghurkas also have terrible problems with alcohol too.

@CoffeeFiend1 An urban myth sadly. In my 24 years (a 2434 from 74 -98) I never found that. They were the best of a poverty riddled recruitment drive. One might argue, certainly today, that they are slimmer than the modern British recruit who, being a reflection of modern Britain, is very fat indeed; like their parents.

@Jonesy-0 Urban myths on all counts. I witnessed them degrade very rapidly into the western culture of British soldiers once exposed to it. Your remarks about any inherited superman status to be attributed to altitude too, is soon negated and lost in our environment.
