Daaaaaaamn
one for each year he's been trained to use a knife
How the hell did he NOT get the Victoria's Cross? What more does the man have to do?
He's a Gurkha, this is what they do on their days off.

think you've had a hard day at work?
Not sure what you mean by that but this seems like it's deserving of the highest honor possible. I understand they have a reputation of being complete badasses but I think he deserved it. He took on 30 people by himself for god's sake.
i don't know if any of you are aware of the stereotypes of Gurkha warriors... frankly it would have been a bigger surprise if the Taliban had won.
I read up a bit on them after posting this...and I'm getting the same vibe...
I guess he might not have gotten the Victoria's Cross because he didn't save any fellow troops (at least the article didn't mention him saving someone else) which seems to be a criterion for this. Impressive achievement though. That's a MAN right there.
Read this in the METRO the other day, best part was when he just speared a guy with the blade on his gun. Pretty old school.

About the same incident .......in more detail..
the book born supremacy was actually based off of this
Yes, a picture of Gurkhas is what you'll see in the dictionary when you look up the term badass. Some general once said, "If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or is a Gurkha."
