The Gurka's have always been loyal to this country are treated with utter disgrace by all the governments that we have had...

I have every sympathy for the Gurkhas but let's face it, the Government doesn't exactly look after our indigenous troops perfectly does it - whether that be in terms of equipment and back-up in theatre or pay/conditions/ welfare out of theatre. Thankfully, due mainly to public pressure, that situation has started to change for the better but there are still too many veterans left on the scrap heap all too often with mental health issues and/or disabilities.
