I thought it was to KNOW you can destroy but maintain a level of RESPECT for CREATED life and so keep it sheathed unless totally provoked otherwise allowing Peace... to over all PREVAIL...
OnTopic I think his mentality scares them and that's strange

So what are the Taliban doing then? Sitting in their harems getting high? Raping boys? Preparing heroin for export? Paying young local men a couple of bucks to shoot an obsolete rifle at coalition forces and then get themselves killed? Executing school teachers? Stoning women? Ah, the life of a "resistance fighter", so noble, so just.

The things you mentioned are horrible and very sad, but let me tell you this: the Taliban are not the "fall guys", they are just another brutal savage element in the madness of that war.

Wait...........This from the same people that use the mentally handicap, women and children to be the delivery method for suicide bombs???
Yeah, ok then.
The Taliban have responded to Prince Harrys remarks which compared his Afghan duties to an Xbox/Playstation game. The Taliban believe the 3rd in line for the throne has developed some sort of mental problem.
As much as I don't like saying it, you gotta give it to the taliban.
How they have lasted this long is beyond me.
As for Harry, I think maybe he should get out of his chopper and see what sort of video game he would be playing on the ground

Your statement reflects the ignorance of propriety.
The Taliban are "resistance fighters"? Yeah right. If they are then why are the local Afghan's terrified of them?

At least *they* are not trafficking in narcotics (and weapons, and nuclear material, and god-only-knows-what-else), looting and committing crimes and war crimes around the entire world.

Really this is the exact same Taliban that also believed that no women ever deserved any education and also banned kite flying now also believe that Prince Harry has a mental health problem?
OP serious question, do you believe that the Taliban are in anyway a authority of the mental health of the Prince, if not why bother posting this?
I have sneaking suspicion that you actually do like to say it.
A basic history of Afghanistan should answer that for you!
You mean like he did a few years back when he was fighting alongside the Ghurkha’s in Afghanistan as a forward air controller who was actually involved in repealing Taliban attacks.
