In all honesty, normal standards of courage/foolhardiness just don't apply to Ghurkas. They have always shown a willingnes to go above and beyond that is rare in Western troops, it's a cultural thing in many ways.
Back in world war 2 Ghurkas did some pretty amazing things. 26 VC's (the highest British award for valour in combat) have been awarded to Ghurka regiments.
