The Afghan Taliban have accused Prince Harry of committing war crimes, after he admitted to killing 25 of their fighters while serving as an Apache helicopter pilot for the British armed forces in Afghanistan. He was berated for it by the British media, as well. On the other hand, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak commended him for the incredible job he has his fellow servicemen and women did in keeping the UK and its citizens safe.
My first thought was “only 25?”
The Daily Mirror described Prince Harry’s claim of killing 25 Taliban members as an “outrageous boast” that puts fellow soldiers in “added peril”. The Daily Mail claimed that “former military commanders, pilots, aid workers and diplomats” condemned the remarks, while Afghans based in the UK also “feared for their safety amid fears the Taliban could “take revenge on them”.

How did they miss this? Is not “Apache helicopter pilot” racist or something?

Only 25 Taliban, what a slacker. He should have killed more. I wish we would bring napalm back.

In the medieval era, royals were expected to lead in the battlefield.
I\d say “Well done, Harry. for following in the chivalry tradition.
No-one’s gonna miss those dead Taliban terrorists.

I killed many times that many communists in SE Asia and fewer than that in SW Asia and Africa. Prince Harry should be proud of sending that many Taliban to their well-deserved place in hell.
Ghulam says
At least those 25 earned a royal death.
According to Islamic tradition, it is considered virtuous to be killed by royalty. They’re seen as bigger martyrs.
