  In 1964 I was a member of C Squadron 16/5th Lancers and we were tasked with recovering 2 soldiers who had been buried up to their necks in sand and then beheaded by muslim insurgents in Radfan Aden(now South Yemen). Once recovered our troop commander turnrd all our tanks to the caves where the insurgents were known to be hiding and blasted way. In those days there were no television cameras following your every move and no trial by television or the media. I read in a book recently that our Radfan campaign was the last of it's kind, the last of our ability to fight based purely on military decisions and not political or political correctness.
