You just can’t win by pandering to wokes. Whatever issues the royals may have, its black sheep has hitched his wagon to a demographic that makes even the maddest kings and emperors seem reasonable.)
But as a maligned and misunderstood member of the British Royal Family who only occasionally dons swastikas and pursues privacy through assorted media marketing deals and multi-episode documentaries (The Search for Privacy S3E8 – Please Pay More Attention To Us You Selfish Beasts is my favorite), it’s understandable that Princess Harry expected his memoir, Spare, to be lavished with praise for offering proof once and for all that the royals are racists because they rejected his part-black wife over her psychotic behavior. Sadly, in an effort to butch up, he instead alienated the second most crucial victim group.
Senior members of the Taliban responded angrily Friday to claims by Prince Harry in his much-anticipated memoir that he had killed 25 “enemy combatants.”
Taliban members were quick to criticize his claims in “Spare” that looks set to escalate Harry and Meghan’s feud with the British royal family, as the couple seeks to present their side of a story pitting celebrity against the centuries-old institution.
Anas Haqqani, a senior member of the Taliban and its powerful Haqqani network, considered to be the group’s most formidable fighting force, wrote on Twitter that the people Harry killed “were not chess pieces, they were humans.”
“They has families who were waiting for their return. Among the killers of Afghans, not many have your decency to reveal their conscience and confess to their war crimes,” he said.
They had families, livestock and sex slaves. Some of those young boys have now run away.
Harriet claims to have killed 25 terrorists.
A retired British Army colonel, famous for his inspirational speech on the eve of battle in Iraq, says the Duke of Sussex has “now turned against the other family, the military”.
“Prince Harry’s latest revelations in his memoir ‘Spare’ are clearly a tragic money-making scam to fund the lifestyle he can’t afford and someone else has chosen.
“Amongst his assertions is a claim that he killed 25 people in Afghanistan. That’s not how you behave in the Army; it’s not how we think. He has badly let the side down. We don’t do notches on the rifle butt. We never did.
People who were actually fighting are skeptical.
Other Afghanistan veterans questioned how far Harry could be sure of how many people he had killed. A former para said: “I’ve never heard anyone talk about kill counts, it’s crass and frankly cringeworthy. Taking a life is the most serious thing you can ever do on ops, serious people don’t talk it up as a game to shift a few books.”
While it is not uncommon for soldiers to watch back gun-cam footage to analyse how the mission had unfolded, the Afghan veteran added, “You can’t always tell who has been killed or injured. No one is going into a flattened building to check.”
Muslims are also most unhappy.

It’s awkward when you set out to win over wokes, but then your ghostwriter alienates a key woke demographic. The apology tour for this one is bound to be grand. Maybe he can get another memoir out of it.

It si a sad comment on thumanity that they are human and they demonstrate how evil humans can be, but so are the people of Afgahnistan that they routinely kill for trivial offences.

Taliban are inbred, homicidal hillbillies.
Think ‘Deliverance.’ Think Burt Reynolds.
Hoi Polloi says
As someone who was born in the Appalachians and whose lineage is primarily of two mountainous and very successful countries, I take exception. There are far better examples in history and that was only a movie. It’s hardly even the typical experience of someone who goes camping in the Appalachians but violence is currently raging in NYC and in islamic countries.
somehistory says
I agree. Mountain people, the ones I’ve seen and met, are some of the nicest, loving people in this country. Hospitable people.
They are maligned just as “red-necks* and people from the South are. I’d rather be a “hillbilly” than a new yorker.
Of course, many, maybe even most, new yorkers are better than mozlums devoted to their fake prophet.

What an absolute stupid idiot Prince Harry is. Who the hell in their right frame of mind boasts about killing 25 taliban fighters, only the most foolish of fools would do such a thing. And as for the people around him. wasn’t there anyone to advise him against doing this.
If he wasn’t on jihadi’s hit list he most certainly is now, you can be sure a fatwa will be issued.
tim gallagher says
I agree, John. I couldn’t believe it when I heard that this fuckwit, harry, said that he had killed 25 Taliban fighters. How could anyone be that stupid. And what a whingeing, whining piece of crap this self-pitying creature, and his wife who would no doubt be feeding his sense of being an endless victim, both are.
John ..Smith says
Tim what a fuckwit he is, he doesn’t come from the real world like the rest of us do, he comes from a world that is absolutely oblivious to reality. Most of us learnt from a very early age that antagonising your enemies isn’t a good idea, but not him.
In other words he never learnt the ability of being street wise, and sadly he may well pay a hard price for that.
tim gallagher says
Yes, Joahn, I heard on the radio news here in Australia today that, in the UK, Harry’s popularity has sunk way down low. I ignore him but am interested in how his garbage is going down in the UK. I also heard on that same news report that his interview had pretty low ratings. No surprise there because he is waffling on and on and is so boring. I checked some of the comments on the “Daily Mail UK” newspaper to gauge the reaction of the English people and there was a good comment, very much to the point, where someone said about harry and Meghan, “We don’t like you and we don’t care”. I thought it was spot on. A commentator out here calls the title of his book “Spare Me” instead of his title “Spare”, as in, oh, spare me any more of this whining crap. Still I suppose Harry and Meghan are set up financially for a long, long time now by spewing out this bullshit. Laughing all the way to the bank.

Milo,
I’ve been well aware of this fact for sometime now, and if a DNA test is ever done I’d put my house on it that James Hewitt is the real father of Harry.
Harry is the spitting image of James, but his drama queen antics come from his mother.
Thanks for the link

I agree, the image seems to confirm that James Hewitt could be the father. As for the drama queen antics, that could be due to a combination of Diana, his wife, and…

Maybe he has had one too many “magic moments.”
somehistory says
He must have read of j edgar hoover’s hit list, the clinton’s kill list, and seen a bunch of low-budget movies where they do body counts and brag.
harry’s probably thinking something like, “i just can’t get a break.”
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I’m no fan of Harry’s, but the sanctimonious outrage displayed by the Taliban just makes me snicker. Essentially, what they are saying is, “It’s okay for us to kill people, but how dare you do it”. It would be like Hitler or Stalin or Mao condemning their enemies for killing any number of people
somehistory says
this features in everything about mozlums. they can brag about how their fake prophet did evil things, but no infidel is allowed to say those things. they are free to take over lands belonging to others, but theirs must be left alone; they say how much they hate the rest of us, but we are all supposed to fawn over them and praise them. It’s really sickening. quite the hypocrites are mozlums.
gravenimage says
Absolutely, Infidel.
Hank says
Harry is whining like a five year old kid and made a real fool of himself this time. He should not write or mix military matters in his family feud. I think he lives in a bubble like most Royals do. Meghan may have to check his draft next time he starts writing.
I have a hard time believing a Royal would be sent to the front line other than for a photo op. He probably was playing a war game or simulator and got it all mixed up with the world outside of his bubble.

Well, his grandfather was a member of the armed forces, and his uncle Andrew did see action in the Falklands in 1982

Mark, “Harriet” is just a feminization of the name “Harry”–but most women in the military are more professional than this.

………………………………………..
So much for the idea that Muslims are just as opposed to terrorism as are civilized people…this “British Muslim” (what is actually British about him, save for his current address?) is upset that any Briton may oppose Jihad terror.
Actually, one of the few decent things that Harry has done was to serve honorably (so far as I know) in the military. The attempt to civilize Afghanistan was sadly doomed from the start, but taking out a few Taliban–whatever the number–is not actually a bad thing.
