Gurkhas are some bad mofos.

There was a story not too long ago about a gurkha that held off 30-something thugs on train armed with just a knife. Killed 3 or for a wounded a bunch more.

Excellent fighter, Went with the mindset, that he was going to die, but wanted to K I L L some talibans

Damn. That dude is a badass. I don't care what country he's from.

 

[jbombelli]

Kudos to him! Gurkhas are definitely some bad mofos.

Glad these guys are our allies. Kick ass dudes.I read some pretty cool stories about them.

That's a bad dude

Gurkhas are historically badasses. This is just the latest episode in that history. I'm glad he made it through unwounded.

I'm guessing he was sitting on a medium or heavy MG in a fortified bunker. 400 rounds and 17 grenades is a lot of ordinance.

Stupid Taliban assaulting a fortified Ghurka position. They really are just morons.

WOW even used the tripod of his wepaon as a "weapon" to push back an enemy solider that tryed to get to his position.

I would say he deserved it......

Do they teach the "bipod defense" in Krav Maga? Nice to get press about some of the real heroes over there.

What a bada$$!! If the Taliban that was struck in the head with a MG tripod survived he will never hear the end of this. Chances are he did not survive

 

[Mens Rea]

Wow...BAMF for sure.

I have never heard of these Gurkhas...I'm going to have to do some research now LoL

He got the SECOND highest honor? Geez, what do you have to do to get the FIRST?
