Rifleman you said-

I wonder if the young Gurkha is disillusioned right now? He probably had ancestors who did the same thing during the earlier Afghan wars and were revered for it. Okay, so that thought can't be considered in how we conduct ourselves in 2010. I still wonder about it.

i totally agree! poor guy. not that this excuses him, but gurkhas are generally buddhist or hindus so they cremate- not bury so the whole idea of returning the body in one piece is not that big of an issue in the nepali culture.

it is very gruesome but the gurkha was not beheading him for crime, punishment or amusement. the guy was a dead terrorist commander who was attacking them and he needed to be IDed for intelligence purposes and they were in the middle of a fight. plus what else could be have done? (dont they have cellphones with cameras?)
