This thread isn't so much about the prospect of the US military actually making use of Ghurka's. It's more about the concept of the US making formal use of a unit or units of foreign born soldiers either of multiple nations organized into one unit (like the French Foreign Legion) or of a single nationality formed into their own units (Like the Nepalese born Ghurka units of the British, Indian, Brunei, and Singaporean forces). These units wouldn't be formally mercenaries as such but enlisted and required to swear an oath.
So we have the prospect of an American Foreign Legion or of some sort of foreign born US military unit. I realize there are and always have been American citizens and residents born abroad serving in US forces. This is about a specific unit formed as such preferably lasting up till present but also possibly once existing but now disbanded.
One idea would be for the Phillipine Scouts to be more renowned in the US (perhaps part of them were extracted from Corregidor then reformed and heavily used during the rest of the Pacific War) and for an agreement to be reached between the Phillipines and US permitting it's continued existence past independence. Another concept would be for a "Liberian Scouts" type formation recruited from Liberia (which obviously has a long history with the US.).
