The precise circumstances will not be determined until an official report has been completed, but reliable military sources have confirmed that a Gurkha patrol was sent out with orders to track down a Taliban warlord described as a 'high-value target'.
Having identified their target, a fierce battle ensued during which the warlord was killed. To prove that they had got their man, the Gurkhas attempted to remove the body for identification. Further enemy fire necessitated a fast exit minus corpse. So, an unnamed soldier drew his kukri - the standard-issue Gurkha knife - removed the man's head and legged it. Ten out of ten for initiative. Nought out of ten for diplomacy.

Nepalis are a proud group.
Very much unlike India who seems to have a very pacifist culture the Nepalis proudly proclaim they have never been colonized- even though they were a protectoriate. Not long ago Somali Pirates tried to take an Indian fallged ship with a Neplai crew two Neplais armed with Guraka Knives took down 6 Somali pirates armed with AKs one Neapli was wounded. Theya re certianly a "do not screw" with culture. |

I have been looking for a Youtube vid for ever of a dude doing the 21 foot rule with a kukri.
I don't know if it was removed or what, but I remember that, that dude was hammering his throwing target with that kukri. Every throw was sticking and that knife was hitting with a solid thud, I was almost tempted at the time to but one. |

He is understood to have removed the man’s head from the area, leaving the rest of his body on the battlefield.
This is considered a gross insult to the Muslims of Afghanistan, who bury the entire body of their dead even if parts have to be retrieved. I mean, really. Who cares? An "insult" to these evil people that are trying to kill us? Who cares? |

Quoted:
I thought the rules only applied to those that signed the GC. Geneva Convention, Part I, Article 2: Although one of the Powers in conflict may not be a party to the present Convention, the Powers who are parties thereto shall remain bound by it in their mutual relations. They shall furthermore be bound by the Convention in relation to the said Power, if the latter accepts and applies the provisions thereof.
So, IOW, you are bound to the provisions of the GC if both parties are signatories or if one party is not, but abides by the provisions in the Convention. The Taliban can EAD. |

There is a autobiography of a French Foreign Legion soldier who did the same in Algeria. Apparently it was SOP. The bodies are too dam heavy to bring back, so they just bring back bags of heads for identification.
I would call it "practical military necessity". RF |
