Quinnwok Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I accept that it is very stressful in Afganistan, far more so than anything we in the UK could imagine. But losing your head and becoming angry never solves anything. The gurkha should have kept his head, thought about what he was doing and dealt with the situation in the correct manner That is what this Gurkha did.

Kaimani Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Classic liberal drivel. :hihi: ok. so the best way to defeat 'the enemy' is to debase ourselves like they do? take that to it's logical conclusion the tell me if you still think cutting a dead man's head serves any other purpose than to take away what shaky moral high ground we have in this war anyway.

Again liberal drivel. Win the war first. By any means. Then in peace offer liberal values, laws and government. Or better still dont go to war.

He was told to bring positive ID of the enemy back. BY DOING THIS OTHERS DID NOT HAVE TO GO BACK FOR ID. War has never been fought only on battlefields war is not a boxing match, its a street brawl.
