The Gurkhas face the axe

Its seems like winning their victory on pension rights and being able to settle in the UK may in the end cost the Gurkhas  dearly. I’m obviously biased when it comes to these Bravest of the Brave loyal servants of Britain for the last 200 years and fought alongside them in the 1982 Falklands War, where the very mention of these warriors from Nepal brought terror to the Argentine  invaders. The psychological value alone is worth its weight on gold on the battlefield. In my opinion these soldiers are the most cost effective in the whole of the British Army, they would willingly do the job of two of their British brothers without complaint and a smile on their faces. In pure economic reasons the axing of the Gurkhas would be extremely bad business for Britain and our Armed Forces. I just wonder if the recent news of a  Gurkha solder beheading a Taliban fighter may have had some influence on any Government decision? I know one thing if the UK saved all the money they have handed out to Asylum seekers and legal aid we would have enough money for several Brigades Of Gurkhas and a fleet of new aircraft carriers, carriers that are looking less likely to be built in light of the latest news of to share new carriers with France Its easy to forget but Gordon Brown and the Labour party are responsible for the mess we have been left with and I’m sure which ever big rock he has crawled under in Scotland he will have a big grin on his face at the damage he has inflicted upon our Armed Forces and the whole Country. The jury is well and truly out on Cameron.

Combat is a big gamble when you take on the Gurkhas
