Firstly Pat, Andrew did see action in the south atlantic, he was doin a very dangerous job as his helicopter was bait for heat seeking missiles to keep the missiles away from warships, sorry to correct you. Unfortunately civilians run the armed forces from their ivory towers in whitehall and on their accountants laptops while they sit at home watching it aint half hot mum thinking they are clued up. I dont think Harry should be sent to Iraq as he will be a prize target for every faction of anti Brit and American insurgent. Its not fair on the boy or those around him. As for civilians they dont got a clue. As a famous Native American Indian Chief once said "You lot dont know jack s##t!!" Regards. |

Your question seems to be suggesting that, because I am a civilian, I have no knowledge of matters military, nor am I entitled to have and express any opinion I might have about those matters.
Don't be such a grossly wrong individual.
I am as entitled to an opinion as the most senior military man in the land, just as he is entitled to an opinion about my civilian role. We are both entitled to express our view.
That we might both be wrong about one another's activity is irrelevant.
What actually matters, and is one of the things we, as a country, are supposed to be concerned about in Iraq and elsewhere, is the freedom to express a view. |

Nice try, but Prince Harry is a fully vested officer in the British Military. |

Prince Harry IS in the military. What is the problem if he wants to go fight for his country? |

I agree about Prince Harry's decision to go to Iraq.
He is a trained intelligent army officer who to the best of my knowledge has the trust of his Commanding Officers to do his job properly and if given the privacy from the media will successfully do his tour.
As in the cases of his Uncle, Prince Andrew people knew only that he was in the Falklands and is wasn't until after the war his heroics were released to the media.
The fact that it is in the public arena now will elicit debate, but it shouldn't be used to exert pressure on him or any body else* |

Prince Harry wants to be with his regiment, The Blues and Royals, even if that means going to a war zone or in this case to Iraq.
Well good for him. It's his decision and not anyone elses.
No one is forced to join the British Army. HRH Prince Harry has made up his own mind of his own free will. |

B.S. Its a bit more than concern over how tax payers money is being spent.
Now I don't have any criticism over how you guys are doing the job you have been given in Iraq. My criticism is for the government in sending the British Army there in the first place.
Harry, as a serving officer, has a duty to go wherever he is told and I'm sure he'll do a fine job. The point is that his involvement in the Iraq theatre will act as an aid to recruitment for the army (that and the average of a nine percent pay rise). Normally this is no bad thing but Iraq is a wasteful and terrible situation. I don't want to see any British soldier being deployed there, and the people on the ground should be withdrawn as soon as possible.
So in that regard it is a matter for us civilians because there is a political dimension to Harry's deployment. |

I suppose you haven't heard, even though we here in the States have heard, that Prince Harry hasn't been a civilian in some time. Like his uncle, Prince Andrew, Harry is in the service and his regiment is being sent to Iraq. Next time, perhaps, you might find out the facts first. |

prince harry going to iraq is as much a political affair as it is a military one and well soldiers are generally **** polliticans. why do military people have a right to debate this issue on here and we not, why don't you go nag your superiors. why do you have to be a soldier to understand that harry going to iraq is an unneccasary risk. |

Dont talk utter rubbish,it said in the papers last week,Harry will not see normal action,due to the fact that he is a royal,Prince Andrew didnt get any where near the action in the Falklands as everyone knows.
Harry will not be allowed to be put in any danger for the simple reason it would be a fantastic coup for the Iraquis to kill him,,also every single soldier in his battalion would be in mortal danger just by being with him.
It wont happen,we are not stupid.
Have you seen the news today? They want to kill him,just as I said,now all of you in his battalion are in terrible danger. |

Seems to me Harry's a soldier. He does what he's instructed to do. So his parents are slightly famous. So what? Next thing we'll be having restrictions on other less slightly famous offspring. |

Its because civilians keep there nose out of military affairs that we are in Iraq, we should stick our nose in and tell the military to get to hell out of Iraq.
Don't forget the majority of the UK didn't want the military to go to Iraq but were overruled by a minority. democracy must be a joke!! |

B S well worded as most Soldiers would use Civvy's and the fact you are Army........
So watch your a*s in Iraq cos the insurgents want all of you....Maybe it might help if you act a bit more like a Soldier.
Thanks for the exclusion I feel safer already.........
And you may want to stock up on toilet paper and body armour....
Good Luck sounds like you need it.... |

No. Not when we are invading countries that quite frankly don't want us there and we have to use fake reasons for going in in the first place. Perhaps we should try 'keeping our noses' out of other countries business. |

I am sure the Iraqi civilians would like to see you all leave as well. |
