There was a documentary done about the Gurkhas.

from what I remember, its seen to be a great honour among the Nepal people to be chosen to join the regiments. When they finish their service, they go back to their villages and their pension boosts the economy. Some of them walk for days to collect their pension which is paid in cash.

I can understand their frustration about not wanting to return to Nepal, but equally, by not going back, are they not threatening their own society.

Difficult one to get the right balance.
