Reader’s Comment: Who jumps without a parachute? Gurkhas

October 11, 2016

In response to Lefty Lunacy: Bid for black faces leaves Army red-faced, Paul Weston wrote:

A fair few years ago, Gurkhas on the parade ground were asked to volunteer for an air drop somewhere or other. Only two men stepped forward.
