Now, thats what I call discipline. I'm sure that jankers would have sufficed though.

Maybe that's the answer to our unacceptaly high re-offending rate. It would also free up bed space in our prisons. A motar round is pretty cheap (sorry, cost-effective as well as transferring some of the cost to the massively over-funded MoD), gets rid of an undesirable and gives much needed training to our fine chaps in green. Winner all round in my book.

How do you force someone to stand on a spot, like your not going to move, and who is going to stand beside you to make sure you don't.

Now I come to think of it, maybe there could be options for all sorts of weapons training here. Even moving targets for UAVs, Special Forces training, Naval gunnery. Goodness, the imagination could run wild. The Chancellor would love it; imagine the savings!!!!

A bit like the old method of being tied across the mouth of a cannon. ;)

Cor - I'll have one of thos N Korean mortars please. And there was me wasting all these years thinking that mortars were area weapons...or perhaps they didn't tell us about the first 135 rounds that came close before they 'got him'?

Apparently there are about 30 others who have also been 'removed from their posts'...

I think, in cases like this, a certain amount of gratuitous bondage is involved.....

My money is on being fixed to them - the mortar bomb is what removes them!
Hamish,
If WP was used, getting the aim slightly off wouldn't be too much help to a soft target in the open I guess.. and if it was mounted at high angle, and being able to hear the bomb fired, you wouldn't be too happy counting down your very own final 'crack to thump'!
God knows what would have gone through his mind.

Reminds me of a rather unfortunate Taliban chappy who was removed from his bicycle by a Hellfire missile when I was at RC(S) in 2008.

I was working in Baghdad in 03 with the US Army and remember watching a Pred feed of an airstrike on a BM-21. The crew heard the jet circling, abandoned their vehicle and started to run across the road. The rocket pack on the back had already been rotated and was pointing across the road ... can you see what's coming next?
Bomb impacts, rockets fire and one poor chap running across the road took the full impact of a 122mm HE rocket hitting him in the back. Ouch. If he had been facing the other way, that would have brought a whole new meaning to the concept of being chest poked!
