I then asked the question, why were Kshatriya's allowed to eat meat and encourage by Brahmins? The answer I got back was because they were required to be aggressive.
I then asked OK, what should be the diet of a Saint Soldier then? No answer.
It's all utter rubbish.
Was this a sikh debate, or hindus?
Here is a link you may want to include in your original post, it is from the mouth of the authentic Singhs of the Khalsa fauj themselves, for myself there is nothing better than that to reinforce the non vegeterian stance.

Jhatka
Introdcution
The practise of Jhatka is one of the most recognisable rituals of the Nihang Singhs. It involves killing an animal, usually a goat, with one swift swing of a sword which painlessly kills the animal with one blow. Jhatka is one of the most contentious and misunderstood traditions of the Nihang Singhs. It has always been an important tradition within the Khalsa and its existence is well documented in historical literature. At major festivals and celebrations Nihang Singhs perform Jhatka and distribute the resulting goat meat which is termed Mahaparshad, meaning blessed food. Within the Dalpanth, mobile battalions of the Nihang Singhs, Jhatka is performed much more regularly and meat forms and important part of the diet due to the rigorous and physically demanding lifestyle its members live.
