Harry has admitted to killing 25 people in Afghanistan.

What about the safety of the staff still there? 😪

So the animals are further ‘victims’ of H’s stupidity. Well done, you selfish b*stard.

Yes he's left.

I think he may have left again.

Pen is now leaving Afghanistan. How sad.

Yup.

Pen Farthing was mentioned on a thread somewhere - there are so many I can't keep track. Pen, who stays in Afghanistan trying to help animals, has tweeted that Harry has put him and any other UK nationals there in mortal danger. He said Harry obviously had no thought for them when speaking out. Selfish man.

Yes GSM it is and yes I agree with that. He clearly is a fool.

Being thought of as an "enemy target" by my own son is the reason why I stepped back and stopped enabling him to be cruel. Maybe Charles needs to do the same.

Exactly, GSM. It's what they are trained to do - and the British Army is one of the best trained in the world. But you only have to look at the reaction from military personnel - some very high ranking - about his comments, to see what a reckless and foolish thing it was.

Dehumanising the enemy target is a well known way of managing what you are paid to do in the armed forces. But if you have any sense, and particularly if you have the added responsibilities of a family and of being the monarch’s son, you don’t refer to the enemy as chess pieces in print years later.

Idiot.

I'll assume you don't mean me OnwardandUpward.

No of course not Volver , sorry if you thought so. I meant Harry is an idiot.

Thank you OnwardandUpward

I know that, you know that GrannyGravy13, as they were presumably in an Army.

But some enquiries are still ongoing as I'm sure you know.

I have just re read my post.

Apologies if it sounded harsh.

I just have little respect for anything the Taliban say or do as they have no respect for women, or anyone that gets in the way of their drug cultivation and sales.

Seeing people as chess pieces, that dehumanisation , that's how people are ok with killing other people.

Its how my son is ok with being cruel to me after I got the vaccine. He believes we all became Transhuman, the enemy.

Of course he won't be prosecuted.

Personally I think the interviews this weekend should not be shown.

He's in need of support from someone or something else. He loves his wife which is charming. But he has been let down.

Allegedly he tried to pull the book.

I feel sad about the whole debacle. And all the people he's dragged down with him. Courtney Cox? The horse woman's photo splashed all over his favourite news outlet? Charles and his Teddy bear. Kate. It just goes on and on and he's being mocked left, right and centre.

Very sad for his children as well.

Oops posted to soon.

Aah the Taliban, those good upstanding folks?

What would the charge be? My own dear Father, almost at the end of his life, told me that he knew he had killed several Germans as a gunner at El Alemein - this had weighed so heavily on him and, like the majority, he had never uttered a word about it until he sensed the end was coming. Has a soldier ever been prosecuted for saying he has killed x number of 'the enemy'? This is a strange suggestion, and how far reaching would it be for those who have been in conflict?

Yes and enquiries are still ongoing into events in Afghanistan.

The fact that the Taliban says these were 'family men' could give a hint that they could claim they were civilians, not soldiers.

You do know that being a family man is not a bar to being in the forces.

There is no likely hood of him being prosecuted for following orders and harming the enemy, that’s what soldiers do, it’s totally different to deliberately harming civilians or captured enemy combatants.

He described them as “chess pieces” unless you do that you cant pull the trigger, warfare has come a long way from hand to hand combat, to drones piloted thousands of miles away

Idiot.

It was probably a given that he had killed, but nobody wants to hear the specifics. Man, its a war, that was someone's family member. Come on Harry, what were you thinking? (well I suppose you weren't thinking at all) Tr engaging your brain when you open your mouth. Life will be a lot easier for you then!

I think you'll find if you read the posts volver that some are wondering if he'll be prosecuted for saying how many he killed, not for the fact that he did kill.

They'll have to have that chap who used a long range weapon then.

And as for that Gurkha....

Oh, right, of course.

You're entitled to disagree with my theory. I said so. This is all perfectly rational.

Could just help the military personnel who are facing court over past shootings. Harry, having admitted killing 25, might just have to answer in court.
