You know that story's over a year old, right?

That said Gurkhas are not people to F with, they've been British special forces since the mid 1800s, IRCC.

Also that Royal Marine Capt was in Sangin, were I was stationed. Not my unit but the unit before took over from the Brits. Some pretty thick fighting there, luckily I was to the south, on the logistics FOB Nolay, sandwiched between FOB Rob, were all the SpecOps guys hung out, and FOB Sangin.

#5. Stephen "Turbo" Toboz
When someone who is not a cartoon character is called "Turbo," it is usually safe to start screaming bulls**t. Not so with Stephen Toboz, who happens to back his nickname up by being a Navy SEAL. In fact, he got it during the inhumanly hard SEAL training, where some of the fittest soldiers in the world drop like flies from exhaustion. Toboz, however, was hyper throughout the training period, ran incredibly fast and actually thought the whole thing was great fun.

He made it through the training, naturally, and became a fully fledged SEAL who eventually wound up fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan. In March of 2002, Turbo was part of Operation Anaconda (we dare you not to think about G.I. Joe while reading that sentence), one of the first large-scale battles of the war in Afghanistan. He was part of a six-man team that had flown back into an enemy stronghold atop a mountain to rescue a captured teammate. Their helicopter was shot down but managed to land safely -- only to be immediately caught up in an ambush.

As the team leader ordered them to withdraw, Turbo was hit by automatic weapon fire that somehow spiraled around his left leg, shattering bones and punching a hole the size of a fist in his calf.
Turbo crawled along with the team on all fours, barely visible in three feet of snow, fighting pain, blood loss and the -20 degree weather. Oh, and he fought the enemy, too. He actually provided cover for the rest of the unit all along, refusing to take any morphine for his near-incapacitating pain to be able to do so.

This went on for 18 ****ing hours. All under a constant barrage of bullets and mortar fire. In the end, they made it out alive. At that point Turbo had lost over three liters of blood and was only able to survive because the cold weather froze his wound shut. In the hospital, Toboz lived up to his nickname by getting annoyed at the slow pace at which his leg was healing. So he told the doctors to saw it the hell off and give him a bionic leg instead. They obliged, and Turbo rejoined his unit only nine months later. He still took part on active SEAL combat missions but soon started feeling bad that his new leg only gave him 95 percent ability (instead of his usual 800 percent).

And thus ended Turbo's career as a badass SEAL warrior. He is now a badass SEAL trainer, bringing a new element of embarrassment for the recruits by running circles around them with just one good leg.

Gurkha's are BAMFs. No doubt about it. A group of 5 would probably pick a fight with 20 US Navy SEALs because they were bored and had nothing to do.

[TippmannFireman]

That's some awesome stuff right there.

if someone is screaming 'Jai Mahakali, Ayo Gorkhali!' and running at you - just turn and run away . . . and hope you are faster than them, or at least faster than the other foos around you
