This royal may actually have some upper lip.

Harry ... go for the SAS and then you can serve in secret missions and stuff :)

Wait till Harry meet Eddie Stone.

We disagree.

Is he there for his glory or to serve his country. If he wants to serve his country, he will serve it where his officers determine it is best. And not put others in the line for his personal need to be a hero.

I sympathise with him but frankly he comes across as a nincompoop rather than a soldier.

Maybe he’s too young to understand the effect... but I will give him credit for being patriotic! We need more people like him in the world (civilized anyway)... I respect him for willingly putting his life in danger during a time of war; maybe he should be the next ‘king’. I think he has what it takes (as long as he understands what he is doing) to be the next real leader of his country (even though it’s all for show(monarch).... If he is successful, maybe he can bring back the monarchy (history) of the U.K.!

[MrJapan]

patriotism is often enough reason to dilute the truth.

And what was THAT supposed to mean?!

They've been very careful, too, with the subtle and smallish (three-foot square) insignia on his vehicle

LOL!

I read this week that Harry said he was willing to die for his country. Sounds like a Marine to me.

Oh God WHO CARES!?!!

Can you imagine the propaganda victory should anything happen to the Prince while serving? And the level of security around him would hinder any sort of operations his unit would be able to perform.

As Winston Churchill once said, that is true, but not exhaustive.

Clearly from a military standpoint his presence is a liability. Clearly his death (or -- much worse -- capture) would be a victory for the terrorists.

The problem now is that the gallant Prince has forced their hand. If the British Army refuses to deploy him then Britain has once again knuckled under to terrorists.

Should Britain surrender to terrorists when Britain refused to surrender to Nazi Germany or even talk peace with Nazi Germany?

Will Britain follow the lead of Winston Churchill or the lead of "Dear Loser" Senator Harry "Pierre Laval" Reid (D-Vichy)??

Prince Harry is doing what a true royal leader should do -- lead by example. Richard the Lionhearted, Edward I and Elizabeth I would be very proud of this fine young Prince. He's risking his life when he doesn't have to so that the point is made that we in the West can't surrender to those terrorist bastards.

Must be nice to have the choice to "quit" the military.

I sure couldn't when I was in.

[cajungirl]

Maybe so, I hope so. But I see a young man who is drunk nightly at private clubs, groping women, chasing photographers and falling down drunk,,maybe that is a marine. And talk if cheap.
