Pun fired more than 400 rounds, launched 17 grenades and detonated a mine to repel the Taliban assault on his checkpoint near Babaji in Helmand Province, southern Afghanistan, last September.

Wow. I can't believe he was able to hold them off for that long.

I don't know about you guys, but, personally, I would think that this would qualify him for the Victoria Cross(VC) instead of the # 2 CGC medal.

I and several others "feel" there may a bit of racism involved because he isn't "white" enough

Maybe it's because he didn't use his kukri and lop a few heads?

Sort of like the 100/442 AJAs.

Just MY opinion.

If he was in the U.S. Marine Corps, the "Navy Cross" would be justified.  Just my opinion, seeing the list Marine Corps Medal of Honor recipients you have to die while saving lives to be awarded one (CMH).  Speaking of which my old co-workers son (who's also a Marine) served with a more recent Navy Cross recipient.  His legs were blown on by an IED and he crawled back up on the hummer .50 cal turret and began kicking ass and taking names in Iraq.

VIVA NEPAL!  :thumbsup:   http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110602/wl_uk_afp/britainmilitaryafghanistannepalaward

By the way this story reminds me of a famous quote by a famous Marine:

I think Eddie Murphy yelled "VIVA NEPAL" in the Golden Child in 1986..  He yelled it right after telling this guy what a good job they were doing after smuggling the "Ajanti Dagger" through the airport scanner.. :rofl: :rofl: CLASSIC!
