A Nepalese soldier saw off more than 30 Taliban fighters

Whoever said our soldier cry, wait till we send our well trained alternative fighting force, the NS men's maids.

Another heroic Gurkha. There was another recent event also involving a brave Gurkha - I think he chased off/killed some train robbers. Can't remember the details.

 

The bravery and martial competence of the Gurkhas is legendary. It's no wonder the FamiLee employs Gurkhas in their personal guard detail - they always keep the best for themselves.

 

 

Gurkhas also look quite handsome...

I think Sg should enlist all gurkhas....

Just picture the scene as a soldier returns from hunting an arch-enemy. Commanding officer: 'Did you get him?' Soldier: 'Yes, sir.' Commanding officer: 'Are you sure?' Soldier: 'Yes, sir.' Soldier reaches into rucksack and places severed head on table.

 

Commanding officer: ' ****!' If it happened in a Hollywood movie, the audience would either laugh or applaud. But there was no laughter the other day when this happened for real in Babaji, Afghanistan, current posting for the 1st Battalion, Royal Gurkha Rifles.

 

The precise circumstances will not be determined until an official report has been completed, but reliable military sources have confirmed that a Gurkha patrol was sent out with orders to track down a Taliban warlord described as a 'high-value target'.

Having identified their target, a fierce battle ensued during which the warlord was killed. To prove that they had got their man, the Gurkhas attempted to remove the body for identification. Further enemy fire necessitated a fast exit minus corpse. So, an unnamed soldier drew his kukri - the standard-issue Gurkha knife - removed the man's head and legged it.

 

Ten out of ten for initiative. Nought out of ten for diplomacy.

 

Nato forces are supposed to be winning 'hearts and minds' and bolstering the fledgling Afghan National Army. This incident, however, has apparently appalled Afghans on all sides, not least because it offends the Muslim tradition of burying the dead with all body parts, attached or unattached.

 

It transpires that the Gurkha soldier has been removed from operations and sent back to his barracks in Kent pending further investigations. Ministry of Defence sources have been quick to emphasise that the British Army is appalled by what has happened. According to one: 'There is no sense of glory involved, more a sense of shame. He should not have done what he did.'

[Robin]

give them a tiger too

[Hondacub777]

I dun mind paying them millions from our taxes to protect our country.

[Good-Carbuyer]

Wow! Real life rambo! The highest ranking most decorated soldier in spore can do this?

Too sensitive?

[Good-Carbuyer]

This is real life rambo.. Enemy fire can never hit him, but his can kill everyone.. Run out of ammo still no problem..

Born to survive?

[Good-Carbuyer]

respect...

 

wonder how many he killed & wat happen to the rest of his team?

He was deployed alone?

[Good-Carbuyer]

He's a Gurkha soldier. Not surprising. They really have no fear of death.

His mental maturity controls his muscles?

Since we are in the story of soldiers and army.. here's our local pride!!

 

 

FOR the three friends who had completed their national service last December, it was a regular trip to Johor Baru on Saturday.

 

Their agenda: Shopping and seafood dinner.

 

It turned out be anything but.

 

They were robbed of more than $900 worth of valuables by a man. Apart from cash, the lost their handphones and a watch.

 

All this within an hour of crossing the Causeway.

 

Worse, it happened in broad daylight and in a crowded shopping mall.

 

After arriving in JB at 2pm that day, they headed for the City Square mall - a short distance from the Causeway - to check out sports gear and shorts.

 

They were there for barely 20 minutes when trouble came their way.

 

Mr Tan, who is now awaiting admission to a polytechnic, said he and his two NS buddies got off the escalator on the second floor of the mall and walked towards the shops.

 

STOPPED IN FRONT OF THEM

A man suddenly stopped in front of them, causing Mr Tan to dodge him.

 

Mr Tan said: 'It was strange because he was not doing anything but just stopped purposely. So I just felt my pockets to see if my wallet and handphone were still there.'

 

Nothing was missing, so they moved on.

 

Then they stopped in front of a Watsons outlet to look over the railing at an IT fair below.

 

The same man they had earlier dodged reappeared.

 

'The man asked me for RM12 ($5). He did not look like a beggar, but we decided to just give it to him,' Mr Tan said.

 

He said the man was in his mid-30s to 40s and was wearing a black T-shirt and jeans.

 

He then demanded they hand over all their cash.

 

Mr Tan recounted: 'The man told me, 'Take out your wallet and quietly give it to me. If you're looking for trouble, I got a gang here... a lot of fighters. You can scream, you can shout, but I've got back-up.'

 

'We looked at each other, but we did not know what to do. So we gave him our wallets. We took out the money we had just changed and some Singapore dollars.'

 

It totalled more than $250.

 

But it was not over yet.

 

The man calmly told them to remove the SIM cards from their handphones and give him their phones, Mr Tan claimed.

 

They estimated that their handphones were worth about $600.

 

Then he allegedly threatened them again, saying: 'You can scream if you want, go ahead. But I can't promise you'll be okay after this.'

 

Then the man asked for Mr Tan's Seiko watch.

 

Mr Tan said: 'It was a cheap watch, maybe worth $80, but what would he want with it? Then he threatened us again and I thought, what the heck, money and things we can earn back, but safety is more important.'

 

Said software tester John Yap, 20: 'I was getting very frustrated, but we couldn't do anything. We tried looking around to signal people for help, but they passed us without looking. What if we screamed and no one bothered?'

 

Besides, Mr Yap could not run far because of a thigh surgery he had undergone eight months ago.

 

THREE MEN TO ONE

 

IT technician KY Ng, 20, added: 'Three of us could have held him down, sure no problem. But what happens if his gang members are around, like he said? At that time, we cared more for our lives.'

 

So the three gave in to the man.

 

After that, the man told them to return to Singapore.

 

The three claimed that the man threatened them again, saying that if they lodged a police report, they may not be able to return safely.

 

So they made their way back to the Causeway.

 

Said Mr Ng: 'All the while we were looking behind us. Even though we didn't see the man, who knows if there were others from his gang watching us?'

 

When they reached Singapore, they went to the nearest police post hoping to lodge a report.

 

Said Mr Tan: 'They advised us to file the report in JB because that is where the crime happened. They told us we can still lodge a report in Singapore but they would still need to contact JB police to help.'

 

A police spokesman confirmed that the three had approached the Bukit Panjang North NPP but did not make a report eventually.

 

Mr Tan said: 'We thought about it and decided not to because we don't think we'll get anything back anyway.'

 

Will they return to JB?

 

'I don't think so. We were all cautious, but we still 'kena' (got hit in Malay),' said Mr Tan.

 

'When you're in a foreign country, it's even more scary because you don't know where to look for help.

 

'Sure, I've been reading reports about people getting robbed in JB, but I didn't think it would happen to me on that Saturday. This incident is very 'suay' (unlucky in Hokkien).'

 

Mr Ng added: 'I won't go back there, not for a long time.'

I believe it was more like three well disciplined immatured boys obeying an experienced officer's orders. That is our military training protocol in real life encounter to defence/protect us? The said man rickied/surveyed the mental maturity of the three boys when he blocked them the first time. The boys obediently/unwittingly dodged him in submission. He preyed on them next. As long as we train soldiers to be mentally immatured, they will obey orders from the wrong officer(s). I was told that during WW2, many asian soldiers disarmed, surrendered and were killed later, when they obeyed orders from Japanese Officers to surrender. No fighting required. Just shout orders will do. Our army trained to obey orders?

[Good-Carbuyer]

But why was he alone guarding the check point? where were the other British soilders?

He Single Member Candidate. They malingering where they got GRCs?

[Good-Carbuyer]

 

What a shame? Mental Patient with weak lower limbs disarmed himself for air pollution?

[Good-Carbuyer]

Another heroic Gurkha. There was another recent event also involving a brave Gurkha - I think he chased off/killed some train robbers. Can't remember the details.

 

The bravery and martial competence of the Gurkhas is legendary. It's no wonder the FamiLee employs Gurkhas in their personal guard detail - they always keep the best for themselves.

Actually it is the witnessed mental maturity demonstration,which we call bravery. They also quite scared (shivering) sometimes when caught off-guard (caught them off-guard twice).

 

[Good-Carbuyer]

As a Gurkha is disciplined for beheading a Taliban!

Then the warlord could had survived, and the Gurkha killed instead by the iphone distraction.
