Raggytash: In your previous post you stated ""Bloody right they did, today I hope that the British Government shreds the passports of any who have gone abroad to fight as private citizen volunteers in someone else's wars. They represented a potential danger as much then as they do now"
If the British Government should shred the passport of anyone who has gone to fight for a foreign state, surely that should according to your logic, also apply to any government anywhere in the world, and thus thus Nepalese nationals should not fight for Britain.
Or perhaps, in your logic, Britain is "special"
I think you are missing an important part of the quote that you give:
to fight as private citizen volunteers in someone else's wars. The Ghurkhas fight as part of our armed forces, not as private citizens.
