Here Are the Implications of Prince Harry Saying That He Killed 25 Taliban Fighters

David DeCosse, director, religious and Catholic Ethics, quoted by Time Magazine.

“I do hear that as literally objectifying something that is deeply human with great moral costs attached to it,” said David DeCosse, the Director of Religious and Catholic Ethics and Campus Ethics Programs at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics. “That language is regrettable to me, in fact, it sort of dehumanizes these people.”
