Get this, the second in the line to the British throne claims that being a gunner on a military helicopter in Afghanistan is like playing a video game:
From the Guardian:
"The young prince's comparing his job as co-pilot gunner to a game on a video console in his interview with the Press Association, reported widely on Monday, appeared to have most needled Mujahid (Taliban spokesman), who poured scorn on Harry's 20-week deployment in Helmand.
He accused Harry, who has now completed two tours in one ofAfghanistan's roughest provinces, of cowardice and staying away from the fight.
"I think he has a mental problem, that's why he is saying it is a game," he said. "These kind of people live like diplomats in Afghanistan, they can't risk themselves by standing against the mujahideen."
The spokesman, thought to be several different people who use the same name to speak to the media, had clearly been pondering Harry's widely reported comments before the Guardian contacted him at an undisclosed location on Tuesday.
The prince, who was in charge of firing the Apache's Hellfire air-to-surface missiles, rockets and 30mm gun, called his job a "joy" in interviews released on Monday.
"It's a joy for me because I'm one of those people who loves playing PlayStation and Xbox, so with my thumbs I like to think I'm probably quite useful," he said."
