Gurkha Dipprasad Pun is a king among men. He single-handedly fought off thirty Taliban soldiers when his check point was attacked in Afghanistan.

He didn't run away or get killed dead like a normal person would. He stood his ground and fought, firing 400 rounds and launching 17 grenades to defend his position. When he ran out of ammo he beat away an insurgent with the tripod of his machine gun.

Aside's from being an actual living action hero he's also has a sense of humour;
Major Shaun Chandler, arrived shortly after [the attack] and slapped the Gurkha on the back – which made him think he may have been under attack again. Asked if he might have accidentally fired on his commander, he smiled and said: “I had no ammunition left.”

I am truly humbled by Dipprasad Pun's bravery in the face of death, he truly is a hero of epic proportions. Also he looks well good for 31.
