Thats what I heard, too. There was one incident where one Ghurka did was just to flash his Khukri (knife) and he got the Argies to surrender wholesale. Can someone verify this?

There was another story that the Argies went around very concerned when they hears that the Ghurkas were coming to the Falklands as part of the British invading force. They were told that these bunch of guys eat their captives!
