Gurkhas are professional soldiers and they take pride in their vocation. They operate with high honour. Mindless killing, shooting unarmed opponents are myths. They are not bandits. Their code of honour is so strict that they will ostracise their own for dishonourable conduct and that includes cowardice. The people who lead them share the same.
Bruce Niven lives a Spartan life and give away his money liberally to build schools, stock them with books in villages in Nepal. A man like that won't be leading bandits and the Gurkhas have not brought shame in any of the armies that they fought with. They also have garnered the most VCs on a per capita basis. The Victoria Cross is not given out for thuggery. Outside their duties hours, they are no different to any other person. They land in trouble for fighting, for being drunk and for silly things.
