i am amazed at some of the quotes, dim, hardly, he would have had to apply himself big time to pass muster for the duties he has carried out. The military doesn't take passengers, any one who has served or has family in the services would know that. At no time was he gloating, in fact he came across as rather embarrassed to be speaking at all, but he was asked any number of questions and answered them clearly. I do think that Diana would have been proud of her son, i know i would be.
Excuse me for being late on parade, but as usual I would like to get in my pennies worth.
I have not read every post but it seems as if surprising enough most are backing Prince Harry.
I saw the interview on the news last night, and as soon as he admitted killing one or two Taliban I cringed and said to my wife, "wow!!!! why did he find it necessary to say that, taking into account the recent troubles in Mali".
There was no need whatsoever and it is only going to get the Islamic fundamentalists backs up, and that is not wise when we have a few hot-heads in our own country.
In fact there was no need whatsoever for the interview full stop, especially when he had already had a go at the media for the wrong type of publicity, and sure enough almost every newspaper and news report outlined his folly at openly announcing his killings.
Already there have been complaints on the radio from the Muslim community in this country, with accusations that it puts all the peace loving Muslims in a bad light, which will in turn turn hatred towards them.
No I think that as a Prince of the realm, ruling over a multi ethnic/ multi racial country, it was not a wise thing to do.
Incidentally I think that 'Ring the Bell and Run Like Hell' exercise during the interview was a little stage managed for my liking.

He gave an interview to the BBC which he knew would be broadcast after his tour was finished. He mentioned no more, or less, than any of the other pilots/gunner-pilots would have had they been asked the self-same questions.
There is no way that they would have manufactured a 'shout' just for the camera-crew's benefit.

he didn't glorify it, nor in fact did he say more than you take out one, saves the lives of others, wouldn't you have done the same to protect this country.
and no i don't think it was stage managed to run off like that, no more was it when the young pilots run off on the airfields to their planes, to defend this country in the Battle of Britain in WW2.

You must have watched a different interview to the one I saw. In the one I watched he indicated that he had engaged the enemy "but hasn't everyone out here".
He didn't use the words kill, killed or killing but he did conjure up a scenario whereby one has to "take a life to save a life".
Could one imagine the furore if he had actually stated he'd killed someone? The Daily Mirror would doubtless blaze a headline as such, printing complete inaccuracies for the sake of sensationalism.
Oh wait......
