Sorry Harry, good soldiers don’t publicise their kill count

Years ago I was, like Prince Harry, an army officer. Since then I have spent a lot of time with long-serving professional soldiers. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anybody talk publicly about how many people they’ve killed.

Yet in his new book, the Duke of Sussex reportedly details that he flew on six missions that resulted in ‘the taking of human lives’ – something of which he says he is neither proud nor ashamed.
