Prince Harry claims he killed 25 in Afghanistan draws anger, worry

In Britain‍‍`s Prince Harry’s highly anticipated autobiography, Spare, the Prince shared about an assertion that he killed 25 people in Afghanistan.

In his memoir, “Spare,” Harry says he killed more than two dozen Taliban militants while serving as helicopter copilot gunner.

The incident took place in Afghanistan in 2012-2013. He expressed that he feels neither satisfaction nor shame about his actions.

 The incident occurred during the heat of battle regarded enemy combatants as pieces being removed from a chessboard, “Baddies eliminated before they could kill Goodies.”

Harry has previously shared about his combat experience, saying near the end of his tour in 2013 that “if there’s people trying to do bad stuff to our guys, then we’ll take them out of the game.”

But his decision to put a number on those he killed, and the comparison to chess pieces, drew outrage from the Taliban, and concern from British veterans.
