Good for Harry! Stand your ground!

[The Pack Knight]

That may sound patriotic but it’s true.

Only in today's Britain would that be considered a dichotomy.

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

I’d be most worried about an Islamic Brit soldier fragging him.

I've always tried to maintain a respect for Prince Chas. for his military service. It's been tough. Pretty much gone and irretrievable now, I guess.

It's uplifiting to see PH, a young man of ultimate privilege, determined to serve. Almost an easy call that he shouldn't though, IMO.

[Defiant]

They should send him there and use him as bait. He wouldn’t even have to be around, just let people think he is.

[Tolsti]

He has a good oportunity to save the crown from a long spell of disgrace, especially anything to do with ‘prince’ charles. Already he’s showing more guts than many English nobility for a long time, and can turn into a new Churchill-esque figure is he works on it.

We’ll see..

Bomb the shite out some enemy stronghold and drop PsyOp leaflets that say, “Prince Harry was here, you bastards!”

IIRC, Prince Andrew served in an extremely dangerous position, flying helicopters off of ships, primarily as protection against anti-shipping missiles, like the Exocets (which I believe did sink one of the British ships).

I applaud Prince Harry's gumption and determination to serve, but I think that I have to side with the brass on this one. 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. At least as a naval officer stationed aboard a ship, Prince Andrew had some isolation, which isn't practical or possible for a land based soldier. I'll bet that Audie Murphy and Alvin York didn't want to be sent home before the wars they fought were over.

This royal may actually have some upper lip.

[MrJapan]

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.!

Oh God WHO CARES!?!!

[Just another Joe]

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

I sure couldn't when I was in.
