Gurkhas, you want them on your side.
Posted on another forum. Not verified by me but I love happy endings.
"A Special Air Service (SAS) Hindu Soldier reportedly stabbed to death three ISIS members with a traditional Gurkha knife when the militants tried to abduct him in Fallujah. The SAS soldiers are reportedly fighting Daesh (as ISIS is also known as) in Libya and Iraq, advising curter attacks and also occasionally taking part in fighting.
The SAS has been operating in Iraq for years. They are responsible for assassinating Jihadis high-up in the ranks of terrorist organizations and in assisting other forces fighting against the ISIS.
According to reports, earlier in June this year, a SAS sniper debarred two men with a single bullet from carrying out a car bomb attack.
According to a report by Daily Star, a SAS soldier was caught in a stand-off with the ISIS members with an Iraqi team after the Islamic jihadists bombed a factory in Fallujah. Several Iraqi soldiers were killed, and four were seriously injured in the face-off.
The soldier, who quickly went out of ammunition, was left only with the famous Kukri knife to defend himself.
The 27-year-old Hindu Gurkha soldier had apparently been gifted the Kukri knife by another British Gurkha soldier.
According to a SAS source :: As soon as his ammunition was expended, the IS gunmen tried to storm him. As they went to grab him he unsheathed his kukri and began slashing away. He decapitated the first gunman, slit the throat of second and killed another with a third blow. He then sliced away at three others. The coward Islamic IS gunmen fled in panic allowing the Hindu SAS soldier to carry the injured men to safety.
He expected to be killed but thought he’d take as many of the enemy with him. When he was reunited with Iraqi troops they thought the he was seriously wounded because he was covered in blood but he explained that the blood wasn’t his.
He added later, “He cleaned his knife, grabbed some more ammo and then led another Iraqi special forces team into battle."
