Ten out of ten for initiative. Nought out of ten for diplomacy.There is a time and a place for diplomacy, and combat ain't it!

And away from Whitehall, among the broader Gurkha family, the general response which I encountered yesterday could be summed up as follows: 'What's all the fuss about?'
that was my first thought too.

If soldiers are being sent in to kill a "high-value target", the time for diplomacy is over. I don't see the problem.

What the heck? Why have a Gurkha if you are going to discourage that?

I’ve been saying for years that we should have recruited Gurkha and Sikh provisional regiments soon after 9/11. This is just one more reminder of a missed opportunity.

When you have a kukri, every problem looks like a potential beheading.

The article continues...
Nato forces are supposed to be winning ‘hearts and minds’ and bolstering the fledgling Afghan National Army. This incident, however, has apparently appalled Afghans on all sides, not least because it offends the Muslim tradition of burying the dead with all body parts, attached or unattached.
It transpires that the Gurkha soldier has been removed from operations and sent back to his barracks in Kent pending further investigations. Ministry of Defence sources have been quick to emphasise that the British Army is appalled by what has happened. According to one: ‘There is no sense of glory involved, more a sense of shame. He should not have done what he did.’

Look at the Khukri, not a great stabbing weapon, but with one vertical downward stroke you can literally split someone in half, a lateral stroke will produce the results spoken of here, decapatation. Wouldn’t make a half bad soccer ball. With the beheadings the muslims are doing, what do they have to complain about?

Sorry. Don’t see the problem.
Just put the thing on a stick for all to see and move one.

So, an unnamed soldier drew his kukri - the standard-issue Gurkha knife
A Gurkha with kukri is anything but unarmed.
