#3 Those Gurkhas are really tough.

Karl, those are the baddest of the bad asses when it comes to tough sledding in a fight. Probably the only people in the world that can hold up to our special ops guys or the French Foreign Legion.

We should borrow a few of these guys and send them to Afghanistan. They might clean that mess up in a few days.
