#1 This is pretty much how a megalomaniac behaves when he discovers he's not in charge (and not going to be in charge) of anything.

#2 What happened to all that privacy they wanted? Just shut up and go away.

#3 Unless this guy has a severe mental dysfunction, this would be a statistic that the vast majority of military folks wouldn't share.

I overheard our family's Marine respond to a 20-something girl that asked him the "how many" question, "It's like asking you how many guys have you f*cked. You know but you don't say."

That left her in tears.

#4 "Once more unto the tabloids, dear influencers."

Reminds me of that scene gag in Hot Shots Part Deux when they tally kills to beat the kill counts of certain action movies.

#5 Did he count them all knowing he'd mention it in his eventual book? Or did he have to go over records to get the number? Or did he ballpark it?

#6 You have sold your dignity and self-respect Harry, you are going to discover that you can't buy it back.

#7 I really feel sad about Harry. He voluntarily went into combat, as an infantryman and later as a helicopter pilot. Yes, he was a little wild as a youth, but who wouldn't be if he was young, good looking, rich, and a royal?
Frankly, I don't care how many people he may have killed in combat - that was his JOB!
Then he married Meghan ...

#8 Back in 1979 I met a man who told everyone he was beaten up by 7 Iranians. It turned out he had just passed out and fell off his barstool.
