Reminds me of an article I read recently where an old lady was being attacked by a bunch of punks....a Gurkha happened to see what was happening...he killed 7 and wounded several more with his Kukri. |

Loved this quote: "If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or is a Gurkha" -- Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, Former Chief of staff of the Indian Army. |

Those Gurkha boys carry wicked knives too, so I bet he'd have taken a couple that way as well if it had come to it. |
