He stated that  killing the enemy was not what motivated him to become an attack helicopter pilot.

“Take a life to save a life. That‘s what we revolve around, I suppose,” the 28-year-old said in a BBC interview broadcast .

“If there‘s people trying to do bad stuff to our guys, then we‘ll take them out of the game, I suppose. It‘s not the reason I decided to do this job. The reason to do this job was to get back out here, and carry on with a job.”

Serving with British forces in Afghanistan makes him the first royal to fight in a war zone in more than 25 years.
