Astonishing that he has announced this.
He has now put his wife, children and himself at serious risk not to mention all the other implications.

He is a silly immature and dangerous man.

Pammie yes, thank you.
I think I understand a bit more now.
I commented when his ‘confession’ was first leaked

Sorry - not meant to patronise 😇. It does make you wonder why he’s made this kind of disclosure though doesn’t it ? He’s served in the forces and one would think, be aware of the taboos.

No, you weren’t being patronising at all Pammie! I know exactly what you mean
I’ve also heard service men both agreeing with and criticising the ‘chess piece’ remark.

Yes. I’d question the wisdom of the publishers first and foremost Pammie
It’s been a deciding factor in me not buying the book

Actually annoys isn't strong enough.SIL has served two tours and now ex military .Fortunately came back physically safe but no doubt has had some mental struggles adjusting to his new life.We know his army colleagues mean a huge amount to him and they share a bond of things they have seen and done. But he would never talk like Harry.And thinking of Lee Rigbys murder at times I've worried that extremists would get details of those who serve and have served. This was unnecessarily inflammatory.

Apparently he revealed his Taliban kills for his own healing.

Oh dear….

Good grief.

Maybe he should ask a priest to listen to his confession. Safer all round, and confidential.

Acknowledging it for 'his own healing' is one thing. Revealing it to all and sundry in his book is something else altogether and clearly puts himself, his family and others at risk.

When will it end?

Now the news channel GBN have discovered discrepancies that can be proved, in his book concerning when the Queen Mother died.
