It seemed to me essential not to be afraid of that number. So my number is 25. It's not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me," he wrote, adding that the number came from six missions during his second tour in the country.

Harry claimed that the army engrained the idea that the Taliban members he was fighting against were "chess pieces" in him.

"I made it my purpose, from day one, to never go to bed with any doubt whether I had done the right thing… whether I had shot at Taliban and only Taliban, without civilians in the vicinity. I wanted to return to Great Britain with all my limbs, but more than that I wanted to get home with my conscience intact," Harry wrote.


Hide the PTSD Harry is going to be fun when he can no longer suppress it.

    d**th, violence, sexuality

    A afaik straight cis-woman I work with brought that up about Harry during our shared breakfast today (eat on company time) and said: "[For her] it makes Harry a better partner, as it shows he is able to protect me". WTF is that shit? She also was saying how every death (even that of a convicted sexual predator and right wing politician) is a tragedy and one ought to not joke about it not too long ago - but it seems to be fine if the murderer is high profile and you got a kink for the royals, eh?

    :LIB:'s have no moral compass.

      I mean, I like that my bf is a giant biological weapon and could kill a transphobe with one punch.

      Seems like there's some weird evopsych "I must approach this from the frame of my savanna ancestors and get the man with the biggest club" thinking going on there.

      “[For her] it makes Harry a better partner, as it shows he is able to protect me”.

      I mean, I'd consider this shit crazy on its face. Anyone with blood on their hands is that much less willing to use restraint the next time the opportunity arises. Someone who has ruthlessly stripped twenty-five people of their lives for the crime of... not submitting to the authority of a foreign occupying army? Imagine feeling safe around such a person.
