Queen decorates Nepali for Afghanistan heroics

LONDON (AFP) – 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.

NOTE: To Taliban, don't be screwin' with no Royal Ghurka Rifles men. You'll get your ass kicked. The dude ran out of bullets so he threw a Claymore mine at them. These are the guys you want on YOUR side. Congrats to Corporal Pun. I don't know what version of God the Nepalese pray to, but on this day God was clearly watching over Corporal Pun
