do we have any reason to assume it is top-notch in the other aspects,
too?
Not even all fighting skills, just Infantry. Are there Gurkha units in
armor, artillery, or aerospace?
We might add:
Fighting spirit/courage/elan
Cohesiveness (the "looking out for your buddy" factor)
Technology level (possibly folded into Budget)
Breadth of skills/experience available (eg not just light infantry, but
also armor, orbital assault, zero gee, etc)
