He killed 25 Taliban may be the truth - war involves murder - but there are important functional reasons why soldiers don't go around talking about their body counts. Or admit they have to dehumanise enemies. If we all spoke the truth (as we see it) all the time social life and society could not function. No true veteran will tell you what they saw or did in the Army apart from training they did in the tropical countries and in the cold temperatures in Norway. A soldier I know was in Ireland and Bosnia. He will never tell you more than that. However he will tell you the strip clubs and the loose women in Antwerp, Paris, Hamburg and Amsterdam until doomsday.
JK2006	Yes WYOT it may not have been wise for Harry to tell the truth about soldiers but I'm glad he did and it's merely a minor slip up.

She had no choice in the gender of her children. When Army chiefs dismiss his claims about the "chess pieces" he killed I think that is exactly how soldiers think, and are instructed to think, of the enemy (but nobody would want to admit it). Soldiers have to be convinced the humans they are told to kill are not really humans. This entire "drama" is revealing a lot of truth but essentially is showing how most people don't want to admit the truth. Everyone in the Royal Family and those associated are very odd and creepy. Diana was no saint and does Charles still want to be a tampon?
