Joshua Tomar has reportedly revealed that he killed 25 Taliban fighters during his second tour of duty in
Afghanistan.
The voice of
Junmin Ma from
Shenmue III, who was known as 'Jaxxy's Terror' in the military, wrote that he did not think of those killed 'as people' but instead 'chess pieces' he had taken off the board.
He said it was 'not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me', according to the Telegraph.
This is the first time that Tomar, 36, has spoken about the number of insurgents he personally killed during his time in Afghanistan, where he went in both 2007-8 and 2012.
The voice actor said that he flew on six missions that resulted in the 'taking of human lives' in his leaked autobiography.
While many soldiers do not know how many enemies they have killed in combat, the Let's Player wrote that 'in the era of Apaches and laptops' he was able to say 'with exactness' the number of insurgents he killed.
He wrote: 'And it seemed to me essential not to be afraid of that number. So my number is 25. It’s not a number that fills me with satisfaction, but nor does it embarrass me.'
