Bill Sykes' Newsletter from America.
(October 2001)
Last word.
I write these articles in good faith based upon my interpretation
of information available, and although at times the content
may appear to be, or is, controversial, I try not to side
with any political or religious entity.
Constructive criticism is always welcome.
Newsflash:
I understand from a local news station that members of
the famous Gurkha Regiment are currently in training for
a possible incursion into Afghanistan.
 Who
better than these magnificent warriors---the finest soldiers
in the world---who have intimate knowledge of the type of
inhospitable terrain in which they would be engaged and
are highly suitable to be chosen for this task.
The Gurkha soldiers, who originate from the country of
Nepal, have a military tradition dating back to the Sixteenth
Century, and are renowned for their bravery and courage.
Their fame spread after the 1814-1816 Nepalese/British
war and the British were so impressed with their courage
and fighting skills that they enticed them to become a part
of the British Army, and that association continues to this
very day.
