Prince Harry admits to killing Taliban

[Thedelldays]

listening to Vine on BBC Radio 4 (i think) and was going on about how bad it is that this is being said....

 

anyone have an issue with this...?

 

not sure what people expect, he is a pilot in an attack helicopter....of course they are going to kill people out there

If its alright for the Queen to kill Princess Di then it's alright for Harry to kill the Taliban.

 

However, if he killed innocent civilians, then I'm sure his mother would be turning in her grave. After all she campaigned against the landmines didn't she, god bless her. She saw that blowing innocent people up in the name of war was wrong, so if her son has shot anyone who was not Taliban, she is going to kick his ass when he goes to heaven, or wherever she is.

Mustique.

[hutch]

Sharm el Sheikh more likely.

Al Fayed killed Diana after his son came out when he realised she was mental and couldn't stand having her as his beard, keep up.

[Window Cleaner]

Taliban are saying Harry must be a bit of a nutter because he said shooting at them was like a video game or something.

 

Not even a new approach I remember some Kuwaiti pilots saying that downing Iraki aircraft was as easy as a video game at the time of the first Gulf War.

[CHAPEL END CHARLIE]

He was doing his duty just like any other serviceman is expected to do in wartime - war is all about killing the enemy afterall and it's seldom a nice uncontroversial activity. However, already a high profile personality, he was in my opinion very badly advised to make a TV programme about his service there.

 

'Keep your head down son' as they say in the Army ...

[aintforever]

I don't understand why he comes out and says stuff like this, just making him and his family more of a target.

[Viking Warrior]

Usual cohorts spouting their negativity . Suprise suprise . The mod army are clearly using this to deflect away from the fact 5000 soldiers are given redundancy notices to day . Harry was just doing his job like any apache co pilot does .

[Saint in Paradise]

You UK taxpayers should be pleased he is shooting at the Taliban. Think how much his

training has cost you lot.

In case anyone thinks I am anti Harry I am NOT I have the highest regard for him and the other

young lads risking their lives and as for throwing 5000 soldiers out - absolute madness.

The mod army are clearly using this to deflect away from the fact 5000 soldiers are given redundancy notices today . Harry was just doing his job like any apache co pilot does .

 

This.

The Afghanistan war is a load of balls. I bet that oil pipeline the Taleban said they couldn't have is there now.

Not to worry, we can soon have another energy war in North Africa.

Some people seem to be laying into Harry about this, which is ridiculous. He is just doing his job, and it is a job not many people can do. He has also made it abundantly clear and with sincerity in my opinion that he doesn't like the press and that he wished they had not been there during his deployment. To me, it sounds like he has done as normal job as he could under the circumstances and that is good. It's good that we have soldiers who are willing to do such jobs if they have to.
