Gurka's take being in the British Army as the highest of achievements in their own country. It's one of the few ways of making it big for them and treat Britain with honour, why shouldn't we accept any of our commonwealth brothers from joining our forces. The highest medal of valour this country gives out, is the Victoria Cross, chances are if you receive one your probably dead, Gurka's have in Army history been awarded 14 of these medal's that's bravery considering how many serve...

Its a great thing. These soldiers bring a lot to the Army and the majority are decent soldiers. It also educates our young British soldiers about other cultures, religions etc in a positive way and not from the bigoted, inflammatory guff you find in the daily mail.
I've got young lads that have never left the UK other than on Operations that know all about Islam, Hinduism, national customs etc that they have learnt from fellow (commonwealth) soldiers.
At the end of the day they are hardworking young men and women trying to do the right thing and paying their taxes whilst they do it!

The Gurkha's are the best that serve in the British forces in my opinion apart from the British themselves.Every country that serves in or for the British and it's fellow Commonwealth countries are brave and well trained because they are trained by the British.My personnel favorites who serve in the British forces are the Gurkha's because they are very loyal to Britain and they are extremely brave.

If they are from the 16 Commonwealth Realms, that Reconize Queen Elizabeth II as their Monarch then yes they should be alloud to serve in the British Army.

of direction they ought to, their husbands have fought for the authorities and would have each and every perfect to no longer purely stay right here yet to the help of the rustic. it really is better than the monetary migrants from the ecu deserve.

Their choice - if they feel affillated to the UK or feel any loyality towards us, why should we turn them away?
