Do you know about Gurkhas? They are our friends and have a pretty awesome warrior culture.

Corporal Dipprasad Pun, from Kent, defeated more than 30 Taliban fighters single-handedly and has been awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross.

The Gurkhas are from Napal, the British fought them during campaigns in India region and after victory formed a unit that was based on the warrior spirit of the Gurkha. When they draw their blade they most draw blood before putting it away. Fierce Fighters

Historically one of the most storied and fierce fighting units of modern times. They are alive and well after surviving British budget cuts about a decade ago.
