The Duke of Sussex, who claimed to kill 25 Taliban fighters, said he did not view the deceased fighters as human but as chess pieces being removed from the board.
Colonel Kemp said: “The suggestion that the British Army trains its soldiers to see them as sub-human, like they are just chess pieces, just simply isn’t true.
“If it were, it would be a huge matter of concern. They are trained to regard the enemy as human beings. They are trained to respect their bodies, they are trained to treat them if they are injured, they are trained to respect them if they capture them.
“It is a bit of a stab in the back in the British Army to suggest it is not the case.
“By publicly stating he has killed 25 Taliban fighters, it is something that is going to be damaging for his own security.
“His last tour was 10 years ago, and he has always been a high-profile target, but it is now heightened again.
“It will probably incite those who want to take revenge and try and do so.”
