You'd think his Sargeant Major would ask the squddies to hand in souvenirs....

In July 2010 a Ghurka soldier was ordered back to the UK after he cut off the head of a dead Taliban commander.
The incident happened after his unit was told they must prove they had killed the right man.

Dealing with gurkhas a fair bit he was just doing as asked...he was taking the head to prove it was the right guy lol

Too many 'Nam movies as a child.

His Commander really needs to pull his finger out and address this issue.

[croakey]

Pointing the finger I see

[FarleyRusk]

All's fair in love and war - I hope he gives them the finger.

[Ken Sington]

Genghis Khan used to fire them out of catapults (in their hundreds) into the besieged towns of his enemies. So it's all relative

Disgusting, he shouldn't be allowed to thumb his nose at authority.

There is a similar story in WW2, Gurkha's told CO the Japanese were near by CO told them that was wrong no Japs for a miles.

Next morning there were a line of Japanese heads on the CO's desk...

Was probably going to deep fry them.

[Steameh]

Maybe he was indexing his kills.

[nobodyknows]

Was it a single digit souvenir or did he collect lots?

[CoopR]

I guess he was just keeping a finger on the trigger at all times

[carmonk]

A disciplinary hearing beckons.

[anonymous-user]

i'm all ears on this story..

[neilr]

It's almost as if being in a combat zone and having to kill other humans has some kind of serious psychological consequences for the people involved.

Strange that this is never mantioned, no wait, of course it's not.
