Gurkhas and French Foreign Legionnaires are not mercenaries  
Hi Philip. I see you reverted my change, without responding to the reason I gave. Basically my thinking is, there is no single definition of what a mercenary is, so the section on Gurkha and FFL needs to say according to which definition/s they aren't considered mercenaries.
If their is some fundamental law of nature saying they aren't mercs, then why include them in the article on mercenaries at all? (Anymore than a section in the Birds article called Dogs are not birds). 
Presumably it is included because there is some sort of controversy, and as written it seems very POV. 
(For the record, I don't think they are mercs, but the section needs to be brought up to wikipedia standard).
Regards,
