    As an English man I would say they are a great regiment and great men. I have the utmost respect for them and they should get the same full military pension and citizenship. As others have said, I’m glad they are on our side.

    What is there not to love about the Ghurkas! They are an immensly proud brotherhood. Gentlemen in peacetime, incredibly brave and selfless in conflict. Thank god they're on our side! Our great nation needs to reward every single Ghurka soldier with a full military pension and citizenship. Lord knows they have worked and risked their lives for it

    I am not British, so I should not give my opinion over this. But when a soldier fights for your country. Does everything to keep the British people safe. In some cases lost their lives in serving Queen and country ( UK) Then they should be treated like any British soldier. The same pension, the same Nationality.

    It's nice to see that some things haven't changed, with the army losing so many old Regiments and traditions in the modernisation changes. Personally I always found the Gurkha to be a great guy with a good sense of humour, long may they wish to serve with us in the British Army.
