  • Some men are just badasses

    A Gurkha soldier who single-handedly defeated more than 30 Taliban fighters has been awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross by the Queen.

    Corporal Dipprasad Pun, 31, described how he was spurred on by the belief that he was going to die and so had nothing to lose in taking on the attackers who overran his checkpoint in Afghanistan.

    His gallantry award is second only to the Victoria Cross - the highest honour for bravery in the face of the enemy.

      Former Indian Army Chief of Staff Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, once stated that "If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or is a Gurkha."

        Also, I'm fairly certain this was posted here on WAB before, but I can't find it at the moment.

          It makes one appreciate just how outstanding leaders the British officers who were in the Gurkha regiments were.

          Even if said before....well done Corporal Pun.
