I agree but only if they can live up to the accolade that Field Marshall The Viscount Slim gave to the 1/6th Gurkha Rifles:-

The Almighty created in the Gurkha an ideal infantryman, indeed an ideal Rifleman, skilled in field-craft, intensely proud of his military record and unswervingly loyal. Add to that his honesty in word and deed, his parade perfection and his unquenchable cheerfulness, then service with the Gurkha is for any soldier an immense satisfaction. The Gurkha expects from his officers a standard as high as his own.
