https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/06/prince-harry-book-taliban-reacts-to-chess-pieces-comment-on-afghanistan-kills.html Among the many controversial revelations in the memoir is Harrys disclosure that he killed 25 Taliban fighters while on deployment in Afghanistan with the British Army. According to excerpts of the book cited by Sky News, which has obtained a copy, Harry said he did not view the fighters as people but instead as chess pieces that he was removing from the board. It was not something that filled me with satisfaction, but I was not ashamed either, the prince wrote. CNBC has not seen or been able to obtain a copy of the book. Taliban leader Anas Haqqani hit back at the remarks on Twitter, writing: Mr. Harry! The ones you killed were not chess pieces, they were humans; they had families who were waiting for their return. Among the killers of Afghans, not many have your decency to reveal their conscience and confess to their war crimes. Haqqani added, Our innocent people were chess pieces to your soldiers, military and political leaders. Still, you were defeated in that game of white & black square. The Taliban returned to full power over Afghanistan when the U.S. withdrew its last troops from the country in August of 2021. It has since re-imposed a hyper-conservative Islamic theocracy on the country, imposing violent punishments on dissenters and banning women from higher education, among other human rights abuses. --- "We'll never see Day-Lewis and Kubrick, or Kurosawa and Eastwood, but we have seen Bale and Nolan, a cinematic dream pairing come to life!" ...

Hell, the last section of that post explained that they were terrible people doing terrible shit but they're humans right? They sure as fuck don't act like humans. Im not ignoring anything. Im just saying if you support invasions on the basis of human rights, thats a pretty slippery slope. Would other countries be justified in invading the US for our police force, incarceration rates, and border policies? Theyre basically crimes against humanity. Btw humanity isnt something that can be revoked. Seeing someone as less than human makes them justified in hating you and is pretty xenophobic. --- No, marriage is about love.

Fuck the Taliban.This They call for guilt over this but then turn around to those same "innocent people and families" and say women can't be educated and need to stay indoors, gays need to be killed etc. I'm not defending what the US and UK (and Russia) did in the Middle East for decades.

Heres the thing about removing pawns from the board: the other side gets the opportunity to remove your pawns as well. It just so happens Prince Harrys game piece was a fully loaded and gassed up apache helicopter. Those rip pawns to shreds, and the poor Taliban didnt have any knights or bishops to close in for their kill. Sucks to be the Taliban, I guess. --- Hey Trashcan Man!
