by the time his butlers, hand servants, secretaries, and an army of bodyguards have arrived harry will stand out better than his hair colour he will be a sitting target and the news hounds will make sure that the insurgents know exactly where he is. it will be about as fair as a stag hunt i recon. funny when the boot is on the other foot tho eh… next time daddy looks down the old twelve bore at an animal hes going to murder he will see how harry will look when the nutters get him. very scared indeed.

Exactly my sentiment fast……. I doubt that many people who join the armed forces really consider fighting war as a definitive part of their chosen career paths..(in the sense that they dream of killing hundreds of Iraqis, Iranians ect ect)……… It is a career choice, a chance to see the world and get paid for it…. Oss will be able to answer that question as he is a member of the forces..Yes I know war is a possibility for some soldiers, raf and sailors.. but is it really something you think about as a reason TO enlist :?:
I’m not denying Bad that the war has been going on long before Harry enlisted… my concerns are for the safety of the troop he will be leading.. as Fast so eloquently put it…this country will become a laughing stock if he is captured…. the moral of our boys out there would be damaged beyond reasonable repair….admittedly it was a career path that Harry himself chose, and the M.O.D were reckless to allow him to join…. Isn’t Willia also enlisted :?: What will happen if he also goes to Iraq :?: You are blinded by your own sense of superiority Bad, to imagine that Harry won’t be a major target and that Iraqis all over the country won’t be offering huge bountys to the soldier who takes him alive….. the rest of his troop will be slaughtered..after first setting up the web cam so they can show us how much they made them suffer beforehand…
We as a nation have to think of the ripple effect that Harry being killed or captured will cause… He (no matter what you think) is not just an ordinary soldier.. He is a member of the Royal Family and 3rd in line to the throne… the impact that his capture would have worldwide would cause (in my opinion) WW3, involving country after country on both sides to use more deadlier weaponry .After all could England seriously let the Iraqis to ‘get away’ with the ‘murder’ of Diana’s son :?:So @ Bad for me to be talking nonsense only reinforces your lack of foresight… you may think you know best…. its good that you hold beliefs, be they as thoughtless as they obviously are, but it has little to do with him being a soldier and all to do with repurcussions, and i can’t help thinking that the soldiers going to war with him are not too happy about being made prime targets for more then being British soldiers now
:roll: :roll: :roll: :twisted: :twisted:
the main problem if Harry does go is the effin media…. lets name where he will be going to…. which regi he’s attached to…. etc… the main problem with life these days are the MEDIA….
Course he should go. The whole history of our royal family is about their blue blood being at the front of our armies. What’s the point of giving him military experience if it’s just a token gesture? If our services in Iraq aren’t good enough to protect him and his what the hell are they doing in that dangerous place, shouldn’t they be back protecting the palace?
Trouble is you can’t believe any of the statements because of PR and Spin. The whole fracas could be manufactured. If you wanted him to look the part but not endanger him then just have him threaten to resign and then make it look like he was ordered not to go. Let’s be honest, he’d be loony to want to go out there if he was penniless, let alone as a superstar playboy…

fortunately harry seems to take after prince philip and princess anne. the only other 2 royals with *ba/lls*. let him go fight!. the others just went thro the motions………..what a fokkin laff prince edward was in the marines. :lol: an all the fuss when fat andrew actually did wat he was supposedly trained for in the falklands war and flew on a mission :roll: if the kid wants to prove he aint just there to pretend………let him have his way.
People who join the military must surely be aware that they might have to go on active service. Before the Iraq invasion there had been Northern Ireland, the Balkans, Afghanistan, the previous Iraq trouble and, of course, the Falklands.
Whether we agree with the Iraq war or not and whether we approve of the royal family or not, I think it’s obvious Harry should go if he wants to. But is he insisting he goes, safe in the knowledge that he won’t be sent? Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I think he genuinely wants to serve alongside his comrades.
OK, he might be a target and that might increase the risk to others. All lives are precious but in the final reckoning his life is no more precious than any other soldier’s life.
looks as though he’s going let hope maybe the british press will not pin point exactly where he’ll be….
but im all for him going… like Basil said… previous his life is no different to any other soldier life…
The fact is that he should never have been allowed to join the Army in the first place. It was obvious he was gonna be a target if he was ever sent into a Conflict.
Surely the Army saw this kind of situation developing when they allowed him to enrol.If the guy has any sense he’ll resign from the Army, and do something else. What’s the point in him doing all that training, when he’ll never be able to put it to use.
I think he should be allowed to. Soldiers wear camoflauge & helmets. How is he going to be targetted? It’s not like he has a big sign above his head pointing towards him, is it?
He wants to fight – let him! His collegues have shown their support – let him! He’s possibly our future Commander in Chief, thus needs experience – LET HIM!
