Bravery when severely outnumbered

[youngda9]

I know this is an old news from 2010, but the story of Bishnu Shresta is an amazing story of bravery when faced with overwhelming odds. This man single-handedly took on a group of 30 armed robbers and prevented the gang rape of an 18 year old girl infront of her parents.

If you haven't hear about this before, it's worth a quick read.

Even when the odds are against you it is better to go out taking as many of the bastards with you than it it is to let evil win.

I hope I am that solid of conviction if I am ever tested like that.

This story never ceases to amaze me.

I'm not bring a knife to a gun fight...I'm bringing a Gurkha with a knife.

When the bad guys ducked out if his compartment, just before he pulled his knife, he must have opened up a can of whoopass. That's awesome.

"I am proud to be able to prove that a Gorkha [alternate spelling of Gurkha] soldier with a khukuri is really a handful. I would have been a meek spectator had I not carried that khukuri."

We would all be spectators if not for our weapons. Heck of a story!

Very excellent story. My dad has a Kurkri that he brought back from the Phillipines; wicked looking knife, and could obviously do some serious damage.

Glad that he was there, and give those thugs what they had coming. We need more like him.

Also, just imagine how many he would've gotten if he had had a friend, or maybe a gun.

That is an awesome story, not much to add other than he is a bad man for sure.

Great man. Great story.

Wow. Everyone SAYS they would do something like this. But most of us know better. 30 against 1. WOW.

Don't bother taking names, too busy kicking butt.

Damn, gotta love those Gurkhas.

"Well, we needed to identify the body, and it was heavy, and they were shooting at us, and this was just easier."

I say it again; we need to send more guys like that over there.

Great story, all of the ones posted on here about them. I have read about all of them before, but always great reading stories like these. (Although, Im glad to read that the one is being returned to duty for doing his job.) I would like to believe that when the time comes, that I will stand up to do whats right, no matter how out numbered. As you can see, they were mostly coward bullies that ran after he opened the can. Then again, having seen what one can do with that knife, probably smarter that they did. I probably wouldn't have done as well, but I am not going to stand by and let something like that go down in front of me like Im good with it.
Thanks for posting the story.

He was a British Gurkha. That's what they do!! Whenever a British unit learns s that the Gurkha's will be providing fire support they know the fight is won before the first shorts are fired. These guys are fierce warriors and 100% loyal. They have a total disregard for their personal safety. And yet they are the most respectful and gentle people you will find on a battlefield.
