The Gurkas

Gurkas are considered the greatest soldiers ever. Why? A Gurkas commander asked for volunteers for a highly dangerous mission. He explained that they were going to fly to the target and jump at only 500 feet.  Fully expecting the whole regiment to volunteer, he was surprised when only half did so. He asked the top Sergeant to ask around and find out what the problem was. He came back and reported. “Sir, the problem was that the men didn’t know that they were going to use parachutes!” After this was cleared up they had 100% volunteers.
