User blog comment:Thundrtri/Season 1 episode 10: Gurkhas VS Irish Army Rangers/@comment-79.97.117.25-20130517211147

Being a current serving member of the Irish Defence forces 2nd Infantry Battalion (not a Ranger) I must point out that the Gurkhas are regular infantry soldiers, well reputed no doubt but still conventionally trained. The Ranger Wing is a highly trained special forces unit that trains with the SAS and other international special forces organisations. The Gurkhas in such a small number (an under strength section) would have been at a major disadvantage. Reading the fictional story I could not keep from thinking that a group of teenage reservists would not go about assaulting a described compound in that fashion let alone a unit that specialises in such things, see Irish Rangers in Liberia as an example.
