EDIT: Title should read "...Fights off 30 Taliban...". Butterfingers!

Awesome story! Gives new meaning to "an army of one".

I had two thoughts after reading this.
1) 30 to 1. I guess the Taliban should have been warned about Corporal Pun.
2) Considering what he did, he should have gotten the Victoria Cross.

I thought this was the best part:


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.

Bad. Ass.

I said the same thing then remembered he's a Nepali/Gurkha and was lucky enough to get what he got.
