A Nepalese soldier in the British army has been given a top bravery award by Queen Elizabeth II for his heroics in Afghanistan, where he single-handedly saw off more than 30 Taliban fighters.

Corporal Dipprasad Pun, 31, said he thought he was going to die and so had nothing to lose in taking on the attackers who overran his checkpoint.

He was awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross (CGC), which is given in recognition of acts of conspicuous gallantry during active operations against the enemy

this guy deserves the rambo award. either that, or taliban is just fail

Lesson for Taliban, stay hidden and attack from distance, like the cowards that they really are. Do not take on real soldiers head on, spineless species should never do that.

Only thirty? Did he run out of ammo? I would have taken one hundred, but I go in prepared.

Pun fired more than 400 rounds, launched 17 grenades and detonated a mine to repel the Taliban assault on his checkpoint near Babaji in Helmand Province, southern Afghanistan, last September.

Surrounded, the enemy opened fired from all sides and for 15 minutes Pun remained under continuous attack, including from rocket-propelled grenades and AK47 guns.

At one point, unable to shoot, he used his machine gun tripod to knock down a militant who was climbing the walls of the compound.

Two insurgents were still attacking by the time he ran out of ammunition, but he set off a Claymore mine to repel them.



This guy is a fuckin boss.

The Nepalese Gurkhas are legendary in the British army. They all carry a 16 inch curved knife called a kukri which, if unsheathed, cannot be sheathed again until it has drawn blood.
