Ayo Gurkhali! By Lt Col P This past week, the most excellent Michael Yon had a post on being out with the Royal Gurkha Rifles in Afghanistan. By coincidence, I am thumbing through my very thumbed-through copy of one of my favorite books, Bugles And A Tiger, about life in a Gurkha regiment just before WWII, in garrison, on maneuvers, and on the Northwest Frontier. I know I've mentioned this book before-- it ought to be required reading for junior officers, and its quite pertinent still today. Chapter 17 (fighting in Waziristan) could have been written yesterday. VMI graduates should all read Chapter 22, as well. No one I've read has brought the Gurkhas to life in the written word as Masters did. But Mr Yon more than does them justice. op-for.com
