Tubridy spoke of a Private Belbin and his friend Punda, and a mission Belbin volunteered for: to locate and stop a lone "avenger of blood", who hacked people to death with his Afghan sword. Tubridy later took a company of men out and found the lone avenger dead and only Belbin's binoculars laying next to him.
