He forgets that he was not in isolation... I speak to people who were there when he was there. He didn't go anywhere where there was a chance he could be captured, ie, not facing the enemy. He was regarded as an utter liability, his presence made others unsafe.
Here is what he actually wrote.
Prince Harry killed 25 people in Afghanistan - and says he was 'not ashamed of it'
Prince Harry writes in his memoir that he killed 25 people while serving in Afghanistan.
The Duke of Sussex spent 10 years in the army, including two frontline tours to Afghanistan.
In Spare, he writes: "Most soldiers don't know exactly how many kills they have to their credit.
"Under battle conditions, you often fire indiscriminately.
"However, in the age of Apaches and laptops, everything I did in the course of two tours of duty was recorded and time-stamped.
"I could always tell exactly how many enemy combatants I had killed. And it seemed essential for me not to be afraid of that figure. Among the many things I learned in the Armed Forces, one of the most important was to be accountable for my own actions."
He continues: "So my number: twenty-five. It was not something that filled me with satisfaction, but I was not ashamed either.
"Naturally, I would have preferred not to have that figure on my military resume, or in my head, but I would also have preferred to live in a world without the Taliban, a world without war.
"However, even for a casual practitioner of wishful thinking like myself, there are realities that cannot be changed."
