X-pack-Glyn Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Fair play to him but Cant see what the big deal is meself, so are thousands of other british troops but they dont get an entire news programme all to themselves, still its about time one of em did something though.
Kelvfoozinda Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 To be fair, if he got shot, there would be a lot more coverage than if anyone else did. Which, to be fair, is bullshit.

Which, to be fair, is bullshit. thats exactly my point mate, i know it takes balls to fight in a war like that though and i admire him for that the exact same as i admire the rest of the troops.
jed Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 fuk the royals just a fukin tourist attraction proper waste of space... well thats my view anyway
ann_capri Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 my son is in the prosess of joining the army all this cause its a prince on the front line is crap what about all the lads out there fighting ,shawly people would be more happy seeing them and knowing the we're well than seeing a prince ,who we all know will be moved from there at the first sign of real trouble and our own will still have to fight
Admin Vista Posted February 29, 2008 Admin Report Posted February 29, 2008 People that are making a fuss about the BBC and other news outlets witholding the fact that he was out there don't seem to get the fact that killing him would be a major propaganda victory for the Taleban. Therefore public knowledge of his presence there significantly enhances the danger that he and those around him must face as it's likely they will be specifically targeted. Like Prince Andrew in the Falklands war, good on him going out there and standing shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the troops. Personally I'd like to see a few more politicians with military service under their belts. I suspect they'd be less inclined to involve us in conflict (and we'd be better prepared when they did) if they'd actually been shot at themselves.

presleybeetrootboy Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 prince harry pissed me off yesterday because he said he liked it out there because he is away from england but its not good because all our soldiers are getting killed!!!!!!!!
4parajon Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 prince harry pissed me off yesterday because he said he liked it out there because he is away from england but its not good because all our soldiers are getting killed!!!!!!!! But you need to understand the context in what he was saying it in, or at least give the whole statement. He did say that but he meant away from the paparrazi and the press intrusion in his life. Out there he has been left alone to get on with his job.
MexDan Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 ginger As if he doesnt have enough attention ot there on him already... die your ahir you twat!!! When he's not wearing his helmet it must be like a big ginger beacon running round...

We will fight where and when we are told to (just doin our job) . In the 16 years i have been in the military it seems as if public support for our forces has slumpeed big time !
pauln Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Just hope that harry being there is'nt drawing any extra fire on his regiment. Oh and thanks foreign press for sticking a finger out and saying there he is. Must say i'm pretty fed up with our country fighting other peoples wars. On a slightly different note one of my collegues at work suggested british citizenship should be only qualified for after a couple of years of service in the forces. On the ginger subject it's surprising how little like charles he looks.
Mr Sam Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Like Prince Andrew in the Falklands war, good on him going out there and standing shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the troops.

A decision that in my mind was absolutely the right one. As I said earlier, his presence once known to the Taliban would have made his unit the most important target in their land. As such he'd have been a serious danger to all of his comrades. Good one Harry you may be a ginga with foolish dress sense at parties but it's good to know you're not above getting amongst it and smelling in the dirt like the rest of us!
Muttley MK2 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 fuk the royals just a fukin tourist attraction proper waste of space... well thats my view anyway Hear hear, fukin spot on mate
