Prince Harry shot Taliban insurgents during Afghan mission

Prince Harry’s 5-month deployment to Afghanistan has ended. Britain’s second in line to the throne speaking about his role as an Apache helicopter pilot says that he has shot and killed Taliban insurgents. Responding to a journalist, “you are the man with the trigger in your hand, and if called upon, you will fire, and presumably you have and you will kill the enemy?” The royal answered “Yeah, so lots of people have. If there’s people trying to do bad stuff to our guys, then we’ll take them out of the game.” The prince adds that sometimes in order to save a life, one must take a life, but he clarifies that they are more of a deterrent than anything else. Prince Harry is the first member of the Royal Family to go into active duty since his uncle Prince Andrew was deployed to the Falklands War in 1982.
