'These acts will be remembered by history.' Protesters in Afghanistan gathered following Prince Harry's claim in his new memoir that he killed 25 people he described as Taliban fighters while posted with British forces in the country.
FILE - In this Nov. 3, 2012 file photo, Britain's Prince Harry, right, or just plain Captain Wales as he is known in the British Army, races out from the VHR tent to scramble his Apache with fellow pilots, during his 12-hour shift at the British-controlled flight-line in Camp Bastion southern Afghanistan.
“We condemn his action which is against all norms of humanity," one demonstrator said. Others carried posters showing Harry's portrait with a red ‘x' across it. “The cruelties which have been committed by Prince Harry, his friends or by anyone else in Helmand or anywhere in Afghanistan is unacceptable, cruel. These acts will be remembered by history,” Sayed said at the protest.
In his memoir, “Spare,” Harry says he killed more than two dozen Taliban militants while serving as an Apache helicopter copilot gunner in Afghanistan in 2012-2013. He writes that he feels neither satisfaction nor shame about his actions, and in the heat of battle regarded enemy combatants as pieces being removed from a chessboard, “Baddies eliminated before they could kill Goodies," the prince writes.
