Gurkha ordered back to UK after beheading dead Taliban fighter Read more: http://www

Desecration of human bodies is forbidden by Islam, and yet the talibozos do it. I find many supporters, closet if not open, of such heinous acts in this very forum. They have been to known to behead alive and kicking human beings. And yet, when one British Gorkha soldier does it to a dead bozo, for want of a better alternative, people go up in arms, crying about the 'crassiness' and cruelty of the episode?

O yaar please don't tell me about this stuff. I see it day in and day out thus my reaction. I am quite frankly sick and tired of mutilation of bodies. My reaction was on the hyping of such a deed as something that is an amazing feat of arms. Its not! Its desecration of the dead no matter who does it. We curse the Taliban on our end for doing the same to our troops and people, yet when I see folks gloating about doing the same to another Talib fighter, I wonder about the right in all of this.

Blain2, I do respect your views on many topics, even agreeing on many of them. However, I dont agree with your view in this context.

A soldier knows whom to respect. And he/she sees to it that it is done rightly. No soldier shows any respect to those bozos, including those of PA says a lot, doesnt it?

Not all soldiers know this Gubby. This sort of stuff has gone on all along and should be condemned as and when it comes up. As a Muslim, I am ashamed when someone representing my religion cuts off the heads of men with hands bonded, or those who are injured or dead. As such I say what I say about this incident with the same conviction.

If you want to tell the world that you stand up for something better, then lets not try to justify such acts. When you take the humanity out of the other side to vilify them, then forget about resolving anything. Lets not lose our humanity in all of this.

That applies only when they are under IA command. There are some grey areas here too. Don't mind , let them go after the Maoists. By all all mean , Maoists are no civilian and there is no civilian in Black OPS .

There is no Gurkha battalion in the para military or the police. Of course individual Gurkhas can join anything they want.

BTW Maoist are Indians...more Indian in many ways than the ones sitting in the cities boasting about the 10% growth which affects the "maoist" the most...and that too detrimentally.
 
Gurkhas are usually used in the Infantry units to spread terror among the opposition with their brutality. This is their primary role in the Royal Army and Indian Army.It was done during the Falkland war and against the LTTE who also slaughtered numerous Gurkhas . The tactical value of Gurkhas is very limited. However , I am doubtful if this terror factor will work against the Taliban who are no less brutal and physically superior to the Gurkhas. The whole Chinese PLA can be considered multiplied version of the Gurkhas.

Chinese are Mongolians not Gurkhas. Gurkhas are the off lings of Mongolian and a Pahari(non Mongolian).
Multiple version huh!!!! is it a film???
 
None of you apparently read the article...did you?

- High level Taliban Commander killed
- Need identification in heat of battle
- What to do?
- Since the soldiers were under heavy fire
- lets chop his head off
- dragging the body would not be appropriate under current circumstances
- Brought head to debriefing room
- Identification confirmed
- Mission cleared.

End of Story... is that hard to understand really instead of going all nuts about bravery and what not?

Do u think it takes a second to behead someone?
There is a thing called CAMERA?
Ever heard wat UN says?
Pak Soldier kickin a talis dead body was slamed by UN remember?
Ever think why the soldier is being CALLED BACK?

Such an act is strictly illegal in MOST religions nd is a disrespect to HUMANITY.... Be it a Soldier or a Talib fighter.... think like a HUMAN.

Don't ever tell me to think like a human again... I am a humanist btw, but certain circumstances require certain actions that many would not like.

The Pakistani soldier kicking the dead Taliban was probably due to rage and thus was called to the military tribunal.

In this case they needed to take that body back to the headquarters to identify that they killed the right person. In not doing so the Taliban would have taken the body and would probably have burned it and the Intel necessary for identification would have been lost. Think with your head as well.. They needed some form of identification instead of carrying that body in the heat of battle and thus they took the dead guys head...simple as that...

VERY DIFFERENT than a solider kicking a dead body. What the Gurkha did was necessary not out of rage or 'Fun'
