Harry's Taliban kill remarks tarnish his reputation - ex-commander
Prince Harry has tarnished his reputation with remarks about killing Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, a former British commander says.
In his memoir, The Duke of Sussex describes his 25 kills as " chess pieces removed from the board".
Ex-army officer colonel Richard Kemp told The Bbc Harry's comments were " ill-judged".
He added the remarks may have undermined his own security and could provoke people to take revenge.
Prince Harry gives details about his time as a Helicopter Pilot in Afghanistan in his memoir Spare, which Bbc News has obtained a copy of after it was put on sale early in Spain.
In it, he reveals for the First Time that he killed 25 enemy fighters.
" It wasn't a statistic that filled me with pride But nor did it Leave Me ashamed, " he writes.
" When I found myself plunged in The Heat and confusion of combat I didn't think of those 25 as people. They were chess pieces removed from the board. Bad people eliminated before they could kill Good People . "
Colonel Kemp, who commanded troops in Afghanistan in 2003, said he did not have a problem with Prince Harry revealing his kill number - But took issue with The Way Harry suggested Taliban insurgents were seen by the army as " sub-human and just as chess pieces to be knocked over".
