OBJECTIONABLE STATEMENT OF UNIDENTIFIED US MILITARY OFFICIALL IN AFGHANISTAN

A VERY OBJECTIONABLE QUOTE FROM AN UNIDENTIFIED US MILITARY OFFICIAL WHO WAS PRESENT FRIDAY AT THE SECENE ADVISING AFGHAN POLICE WHEN TALIBAN ATTACKED BRITISH COUNCIL OFFICE IN KABUL. SOME NEPALIS AND AFGHANS WERE KILLED IN THE ATTACK.

Kathmandu, 20 Aug.: The direct quote the quote says: The Gurkhas put up a good fight, and they were able to push the attack back,” said a US military official who was present at the scene advising the Afghan national police.
:The good news is that the British nationals that were in the compound made it to the safe rooms and they are alive and well in it.”
(Note: The statement speaks for itself. Its shows the utter disrespect for a human life—particularly lives of people from non-NATO countries assisting the war effort in Afghanistan. The statement is offending. Is it the official view of the US government and military? Do the British Government and British Gurkhas, responsible for the welfare of Gurkhas agree with the statement? An explanation is required and needed. Nepalis want to know. London needs to come out with an explanation for Gurkhas fighting with the British forces )
