Don't it make you smile? Changes the perception of a young man whose first big stir was smoking a little reefer.
Hero for blowing the whistle?

Prince Harry was no more than 220 yards away when a US trooper standing aboard an armoured vehicle cocked a
.50 calibre machine gun and fired successive bursts at Afghan shepherds tending their goats, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. The shocking incident, which was confirmed last night by the Ministry of Defence, triggered a war crimes investigation by US military police. It took place on Harry’s first frontline tour of Afghanistan, which, until today, has been shrouded in secrecy. . . .
According to a British eye- witness the three shepherds were peacefully minding their own business when they were engaged. Given the force of the heavy machine gun rounds it is likely they suffered serious or fatal injuries, though their bodies were never recovered.
Or a
hypocrite?

“
Britain’s Prince Harry has killed his first Taliban commander -
unleashed a devastating 100lb Hellfire missile … All the guys love him – he’s Big H. He likes a drink and a laugh and he’s one of the lads.”
(of course it wasn't a commander or likely even Taliban. Plenty of online videos where you can witness merciless turkey shoots from helicopters or other heavy artillery, many against non combatants).
Roger Waters (
Pink Floyd), wrote this before the 1st Iraq war, before the drones. Waters not only penned the lyrics to the longest charting album ever, Dark Side of the Moon, but continued to be a prophet with songs like "
The Bravery of Being Out Of Range" off of his solo album, "Amused To Death", arguably as good as many Floyd albums.
