Britain’s Prince Harry revealed in his memoir that he had killed multiple Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. Britain’s defense minister criticized Prince Harry, saying, “To brag about his criminal record or to mention his records is to forget that his army works as a team.”
“In the military, it doesn’t matter who shoots the best and who shoots the worst,” said British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace to Prince Harry during an appearance on the British radio channel LBC on the 23rd (local time).
Minister Willis said, “All soldiers have a choice about what they want to say.
“When you start talking about who did what, you disappoint everyone else,” Willis said.
Prince Harry’s memoir Spare was officially published on the 10th of last month. In his memoirs, he recalled killing 25 Taliban fighters, citing conditions during the Afghan war. Prince Harry has been dispatched to Afghanistan twice, in 2007-2008 and 2012-2013.
He said, “It was a lot. He’s 25. I’m not happy with this number, but it’s not embarrassing.”
When this content was revealed and controversy arose, Prince Harry appeared on a late-night talk variety program in the United States on the 11th of last month (local time) and claimed that “the media put the family at risk by reporting related content regardless of the overall context.”
