I don’t know a single person in this country who doesn’t have the upmost respect for these brave men who come to this country to fight for to keep us all safe.
@Unknown2234 Unknown there are more than 2 lakh soilders in nepal brother first know than talk and in something after 5 years the gorkha will just serve their country nepal jay nepal
@Unknown2234 Unknown what say clearly I did not understand
My father was a firefighter in the RAF, while he was on patrol in Afghanistan he heard a thump and found that it was a Gurkha that had zero sleep for the past 5 days, these men are the elite.
Every year only 4% are selected from a group of 8000 after months of grueling tests, then 2 years of more grueling training, then it off to the front because its Gurkha brigade requirement to get actual combat experience, this is why they are elite light infantry. Plus the Gurkhas have a culture of treating military service as the highest honor of their lives, like Spartans. If you need to defend a difficult region or ambush deep behind enemy lines, Gurkhas will go in, like shock troops.
The Bravest and most faithful friends Britain ever had.
but brits never respected em in salary as well as pensions.
These guys are the toughest, meanest and nastiest combatants you can have. Great soldiers!
Steve Smith and yet such friendly and respectful and honourable people when not in combat mode.
Absolutely, the perfect soldier and gentleman, ould not ask for more or better.
@@stevesmith8484 nature of nepalese maybe ?

True warriors
While on exchange duty with( 3 squadron combat hueys ) RNZAF 83 84 Auckland NZ I was with a military Training with Royal Gurkas. They are loyal to Britian Hard ass Troopers , Had several sitdown meetings known as debriefs. Professional Soldiers and dedicated .They are as fiercely regarded as U S Special operations Seals and U S Marines no stop! I wouldn't want to fight these Bad Asses at All
These are the people who deserve recognition, not self important c list celebrities and overpaid footballers.
Never truer words said bless you
Should have been the V.C. Well done young man!!!!!
We are proud of you.
Well done to all of these brave people!
Congratulations Craig, your father Donald was an amazing man and soldier in Rhodesia, also decorated.
Well done.
Tullllay.... proud of you
These Service Personnel are our real knights who should receive a KBE for their bravery. Look who we give the KBE to! Politicians, Actors etc........
The KBE isn't a military award so they wouldn't get it .
great respect
Salute
The best of the best.
Typical modest hero but a hero nonetheless
Pride of Nepal
I hope he got his British citizenship, he deserves it.
Schizophrenic more likely creepy dog
@Scranvan Only in 2004 did the U.K. give Gurkhas British citizenship. 200 years of service. Better late.
Jai gorkha jai Nepal
Tuljun gurung perfect soldier for british
Did the Gurkha take the attackers down with his Kukri? That’s cool
GURKAS appear to be the queens Sealteam 6.
Looking at gorkhas respect in Britain unlike it's diff in India

The Royals should be kneeling before these men, who give their lives to keep them in power.
YESS!! I know a handful of soldiers who have been denied galantry medals, which they had received citations for, simply because they refused to bow their heads during rehearsals for their medal presentation ceremonies. By stating that they did NOT agree with the bowing aspect and that they would NOT do so, these soldiers did not receive their medals and their citations disappeared.
@@aussiepilgrim8620 Interesting you say that. In the 30 years that I worked at Buckingham Palace, and was involved with investitures, I never heard that.
@@hobmoor2042 Don't be foolish. Name- calling doesn't help. Obviously, I know that royalty has no real power now, but they certainly expect/ receive honour and allegiance from the people. And politicians are the scum who start wars and sacrifice our youth for their own ends.
The Royals are now just nominal head of state. They don't yield power like medieval times,so you better rethink what you just said.
@@mimin67 Power = influence, status.
Laughing my ass off. Ghurkas, more stiff upper lip than the Brits. "like a stone, something like that....I realised I had to do something...."
How does he walk with balls so big?
Typical Gurkah really. Even when I was in primary school they were legend. 😋 Give them citizenships if they want them. 💯 I'd be like "I'm Luke Skywalker!" My mates "I'm a Gurkah!" Me "Totally valid." 😂
Britons wake up. Stop supporting the wizard of Oz. Believe in the people.

No disrespect, I just want to ask how come they received the Military Cross, I thought it could only be won by officers, OR's receive the Military Medal or so I thought?
Can be awarded to any rank since 1993.
never ever f with a gurkha.
A real soldier is one who serves his own nation
Idiot. Go tell the men who have served Britain for 200 years and been immensely proud to do so, se what they think of your stupidity.
@@copferthat something after 5 years gorkha will just serve for their country nepal jay nepal
or his own honour.

the hat is silly looking
where can i buy this medal? i want to know if this gurkha officer is willing to sell his medal to me. name the price please. please anyone who knows this gurkha inform him. i want to offer him for his medal.
limbu dilip why would he sell his medal to you? You did not earn it..he did!!
because sooner or later he is going to die. why do he need medal? money is more important than medal. i am sure he will sell his medal for money. do you know him? tell him how much for the medal and i will offer him the cash.
limbu dilip you are not the sharpest tool in the box, are you?
@twinsonic what's the problem with you. all i am asking is of this gurkha wants to sell his medal to me. you got a problem with that? anyway i heard donald trump is meeting north korea supreme leader kim jong-un. I hope the meetings are successful, and that the U.S abandons nuke weaponry and stop bullying the poor nations.
limbu dilip because a military person never sells its medals. And I don't give shit about Trump, I'm Canadian
pride of India 🇮🇳
You're too stupid to be alive😂😃and delete your comment fast as you bark everytime😂
Alish khadgi..Don't spread fake information ...British never had or never will recruit soldiers from India.. They know how easily India came under British power... Honour and bravery isn't something that can be stolen from others.
Lol 🤣
Nepal's name is Kingdom of Gorkha and indian saying this stuff 🤣
