Britain's Prince Harry, who compared shooting insurgents in Afghanistan with playing video games, 'has probably developed a mental problem', the Taliban says.
'There are 49 countries with their powerful military failing in the fight against the mujahideen, and now this prince comes and compares this war with his games, PlayStation or whatever he calls it,' Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid told AFP on Tuesday.
'This is a serious war, a historic war, resistance for us, for our people,' Mujahid told AFP by telephone from an undisclosed location.
'But we don't take his comments very seriously, as we have all seen and heard that many foreign soldiers, occupiers who come to Afghanistan, develop some kind of mental problems on their way out.'The Taliban has been waging an insurgency in Afghanistan for 11 years since being ousted from power for harbouring al-Qaeda chief Osama bin laden after the 9/11 attacks on the United States.
During the war, they have faced more than 140,000 troops from over 50 countries but remain a serious threat to the Western-backed government with NATO troops due to withdraw in 2014.

There is already a large thread on this, where it has been discussed that when the full interview was actually watched that he was not comparing killing to video games at all. Please use the search function.

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.

Western soldiers kill little girls for going to school? News to me. ATS has become so full of crap lately with the anti Western sentiment and pro taliban/muslim nonsense. You're not edgy, you're an idiot.

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?
