"Leon Panetta, a former US defence secretary, told Piers Morgan on TalkTV: "Based on my experience, both in the military and as secretary of defence, I have to tell you the strongest war heroes I knew in battle were those that focused on the mission and not on the individuals on the other side that they killed.

"They focused on whether or not the mission was accomplished and I think Prince Harry would have done better to focus on the missions that he was involved in rather than counting the number of deaths.

"So I think in this situation, obviously, Iran is not a country with a strong human rights record so whatever they say we're not to really pay a lot of attention to, but I do think he could have handled this better as a soldier."

Piers Morgan asked if future editions of the book should have that part of the book removed."

"Mr Panetta responded: "I think that when you start to detail how many have been killed, that starts to become the issue. But what I'm offended by, frankly, is the distortion of focusing on the number of people killed rather than the mission he was on.

"I think it was a strong mission and important mission to go after the Taliban and those who were involved in the attack on 9/11.

"This was an important mission and that's what ought to be focused on. So if in some way he could kind of rewrite this or include the missions rewrite this or include the missions that he was involved in without referring to the number of people that were killed.

"I think that would frankly represent a fairer description of what he was involved with in his service."

There you go, from a former US Secretary Of Defense and not just from UK Military Commanders.
