Basically Gurkhas are being used to do donkey works when certain operation really out of ideal man power or needed a donkey for some reason one or two Gurkhas will be used to fill up the count. In the case of US they are so sensitive to live losses they can not fucking sustain further losses, so they are very tempted to deploy less suitable man power such as Gurkhas. USA in Iraq and Afghan had been essentially deploying immigrants and mercenaries when their quality man power can no longer afford to sustain losses. They use cheaper and more stupid Gurkhas to fill the body bags.:p
the account i read was this, it was sometime back so i might remembered the details wrongly
that they were send by the British forces working together hand in hand with the delta forces. the americans decided to snipe the guards, but that risk giving away the position of their sniper. end up the 2 gurkhas there decided to leave their rifle behind and finished the 2 guards using their blade to prevent compromising the position of everyone. The americans were shocked and decided to stop them, but they were too already out then. they finished the guard up quietly in the dark. I remember the reading that all the delta force members then were really shock at their action. calling them brave but really insane
