He served the Crown he of all people should be given a pass and apat on the back and allowed to stay.
Exactly my thought as well...

I served one month together with some Gurkhas from the 2nd Battalion, IV Ghurka Rifles, in South Lebanon.
They replaced us when we (Norway) left UNIFIL in 1998 so we had several of their soldiers and officers on "on-the-job" training in our company.
I must say that I was greatly impressed by their discipline and skills, even if some of the guys were a tiny bit "crazy"..
I did a search on Google and found a nice little story about the Gurkhas I had the honor to serve together with in Lebanon here:
