[fender62]

Heir and a Der.

Amazing what he does and doesn't need therapy for.

[jourdain2]

Harry starts from the basis that he is pretty thick. (I said this once on A.B. and someone called me a female bovine for saying it, can't remember who.) Add to this that he doesn't understand that he doesn't understand and is quite out of his depth and rattling from statement to statement, thinking that he will gain sympathy for 'his truth'. So far as I can see this is becoming a very serious recipe for disaster and he has become a danger to himself and his children.

I wonder if Meghan understands this.

[Peter Pedant]

jno perhaps a chat with his mates from the services might do him some good.

I think the time is past for that.

I thought his therapist ( he has one he says) had told him to let it all hang out - and he is!

[Togo]

His necklace was broken, and the dog bowl broken, when he got a slap from Wills. Did the dog need therapy as well. Poor thing.

[Togo]

He broke my necklace? ఠ ͟ʖ ఠ ... chipped my nail varnish, and smudged my lipstick.

[fender62]

it's got me thinking, as he lives in america, is this revelation for them
gung ho and all that, if it is, he is wrong again, again i have spoken to u.s service men who fought in vietnam, they never bragged either.
some bitterness sadness yes, but no i killed x amount like you see in some war movies..totally the opposite, perhaps harry htinks it's a movie or ? putting.. harry from hell and back..the movie.

As I have said, I can't think of anyone who would refer to killing in combat in such chilling sub-human terms to friends, and family, never mind the world's media.

The guy is disturbed, he needs help.

[Canary42]

In the Battle of Britain didn't RAF personnel chalk up kills on the side of their aircraft ?

Canary - // In the Battle of Britain didn't RAF personnel chalk up kills on the side of their aircraft ? //

They did, but that was in terms of planes shot down, not bragging about killing individual combatants.

AH: "As I have said, I can't think of anyone who would refer to killing in combat in such chilling sub-human terms to friends, and family, never mind the world's media.

The guy is disturbed, he needs help. " - I've known many war vets, relatives, acquaintances over the years, I'm also a member of the RBL. Never once have I heard any of them talking about anything other than a few anecdotes about their time in service, let alone saying how many kills they had. Most don't like to talk about it at all. Yes the guy needs help.

[Barsel]

Does he refer to them as people, not men?
So he might have killed women and children.

[youngmafbog]

Thick as two short planks.

And soon to be an ex Henry I would suspect.

[naomi24]

//I doubt there is any member of any fighting force who does not regret taking enemy lives//

I don't think that's true at all.

[Deskdiary]

^^^I agree.

If a serviceman was being shot at, and he managed to kill the shooter, I doubt very much he'd regret it.

He may not boast about it, but I doubt he'd regret it.

[Barmaid]

Although I still think he is an absolute chump, I do wonder whether by referring to them as "chess pieces" he is demonstrating that he does find it difficult to deal with. "If I dont think of them as human then I havent killed a human".

I am of course now scraping the bottom of the barrel in my attempts to disbelieve that any one person could be that monumentally stupid.

[ZebuSanctuary]

// by referring to them as "chess pieces" he is demonstrating that he does find it difficult to deal with. //

This is plausible!

After all, to win a war is very much about a contest of strategies.

To be clear though, this is not to vindicate him from those previously made unwise comments.

[douglas9401]

I'd guess that bishop-bashing was as close to chessmen as he's got up until now.

This is all from whatever PR firm is advising the poor misunderstood warrior on what will play best with the public in my opinion.
