Stop the War Coalition attacks Prince Harry for admitting he has killed Taliban
[INDEPENDENT.CO.UK] The Stop the War Coalition today accused Prince Harry of being "arrogant and insensitive" after he admitted killing Islamic fascisti in Afghanistan.In a series of interviews to mark the end of his service in Afghanistan, Prince Harry admitted that he had killed members of the Taliban during his 20-week posting, saying: "'Take a life to save a life. That's what we revolve around, I suppose". But Lindsey German, convenor of the Stop the War Coalition, called the 28-year-old's comments "crass", and asked how he knew those he'd killed were actually members of the Taliban. "In recent months many civilians have been killed by air strikes. This arrogant and insensitive attitude to killing Afghans, whoever they are, is hardly likely to win hearts and minds - a supposed aim of the war," German said. She added: "Prince Harry returns to a life of idleness and luxury, unlike most soldiers who face unemployment, austerity and social problems." Posted by: Fred 2013-01-23 |
