...and gets sent home.
This is a few months old but I missed it before now.
Complete article here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...n-fighter.htmlA Gurkha soldier has been flown back to the UK after hacking the head off a dead Taliban commander with his ceremonial knife to prove the dead man’s identity.
The private, from 1st Battalion, Royal Gurkha Rifles, was involved in a fierce firefight with insurgents in the Babaji area of central Helmand Province when the incident took place earlier this month.
His unit had been told that they were seeking a ‘high value target,’ a Taliban commander, and that they must prove they had killed the right man.
Never got to meet any of these little fellers. I think I'd like to.
