"There wasn't any choice but to fight. The Taliban were all around the checkpoint. I was alone," he said.
"I had so many of them around me that I thought I was definitely going to die so I thought I'd kill as many of them as I could before they killed me.
Now that's the spirit. Surrender NEVER crossed his mind.. take as many with me as I can!! There have been stories about Ghurkas in previous conflicts where when the enemy learned they faced them they surrendered. Don't know it for a fact, but sounds good.
