    Here's a question for all you buffs out there... The British exercise in
Oman included on platoon of Gurkhas... there are over 3400 Gurkhas in
service with the Royal Army.... where do you think the other 3363 are?



  Are you sure it was only a platoon?  I have it as a battalion.

  Anybody down under heard where the Aussie grunts and aircraft are going to
be based?
