So if a taliban did the same to a british soldier and was caught he should not go to jail either?

No if a taliban done it to a british soldier he should be shot in the head.

I beleive its different though - We would want him to go to jail for doing it to a british soldier because we are british, but what the article is saying is he may go to a british jail for killing a taliban soldier. I'm not sure how clear I said what i meant.

Unfortunately the gurkha if it is proved correct did something that I am sure most people would find unacceptable for a british soldier. Thats all there is to it really.

I understand what you're saying. Would the Taliban send their soldier to prison for beheading a British soldier - no, they wouldn't. They would most likely give them special recognition.

We would want the Taliban solder to go to prison for beheading a British soldier, and the Taliban would want the British soldier to go to prison for beheading a Taliban soldier.

He will not go to prison for killing a Taliban soldier, providing that Taliban soldier was attacking him. He may go to prison for dismembering the corpse of a fallen combatant which is totally unacceptable for a British soldier.

Not special recognition, but not punishment either. That is my opinion and of course you will not agree as you have little respect for soldiers...

This is war and war is gruesome at the end of the day. Terrible acts are committed all around. At least this guy was dead.

I've said what I have to say and I've got nada mas to say. You will disagree, fine, you are entitled to your opinion.
