Apparently, you CAN bring a knife to a gun fight.

And the problem is ... what, exactly?
In news from Afghanistan, seems that the Brits identified a high-value target -- in this case a Taleban warlord.

Local British Command rounded up a Gurkha patrol, gave them the intel and mentioned that they really needed positive ID once the Gurks caught up with him.

Well, catch up they did, with the result that said warlord became intimately acquainted with the Gurkhas "Air In, Blood Out" diplomatic skills.

Things got a little too warmish for the Gurkhas to retrieve the body -- positive ID and all that -- so when the patrol returned to base and the CO asked if they were sure they got the bastard ...

... A Gurkha pulled the warlord's head out of a backpack.

(It goes on from there.)

I believe the leend about the Kukri Knife. I had one at one time. Used to love telling people what little I knew about it. I tried to draw it from its scabbard one night and it cut through the scabbard and into my thumb. Took 11 stitches to sew me up. I don't have that knife any more.

That does show what a single man, a good blade, and a serious set of nuts can do with the proper motivation. I'd really like to shake his hand.

A man with a good knife, the knowledge to use it and the balls to take on a group like that is certainly a dangerous person.
