one ask him for his boots the young soldier says he can do that as they are part of his uniform(he asks several times)

he then asks aagin whilst flicking the safety catch on his gun finally
he takes gun out places against soldiers head and asks for his boots.

Nephew sees what is happening never moved so fast in his life(HE SAYS) reaching the soldiers intervenes calms situation down.

Informs afghan captain who thereby
has his soldier in front of him..
and then in front of everyone kicks him into a bloody pulp taking some time to do it.

Nephew watches and said it made him feel sick after the beating soldier(whats left of him) is dragged away….

Nephew tells afghan captain that is not how the British army treats its soldiers…..

As sis says what are we doing there??
