American Reacts to Journey Of Being Selected As A Gurkha

In this reaction I learn who the Gurkhas are. These elite warriors are from Nepal and only 4% of applicants make it into the British military. The potential Gurkhas leave their families and sometimes risk everything they have just for the small chance of becoming a British soldier. It takes amazing fortitude to put in the amount of effort they do knowing there is a 96% chance they won't make it.

Most of the Gurkha are young men from farming communities and becoming a soldier is a dream come true. If they make it they now have a successful, well paid career with a purpose. You can't help but smile and feel happy as you watch the young men call their families to tell them they made it.

Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed this reaction please give this video a thumbs up, share your thoughts about the Gurkhas in the comments and click the subscribe button to follow my journey to learn about my British ancestry.
