they say he is a top target if he goes out there
1- all the troops r top targets,not just him
2-if he cant go to war then why should the rest of them,bring them all back safely & send blair & bush out there
3-the government & the royals dont care about us,like u say a waste of time.
stay happy |

They wouldn't let him go. A lot of that undoubtedly has to do with the huge risks he and everyone serving around him would face with him being there. The heightened risk would be counterproductive to the aims of his unit's mission.
You're questioning his manhood when it's beyond his decision. Why don't you think about the lives of the soldiers in his unit before you start jumping to conclusions. |

That's just the thing, though - he wants to fight in the regular army in the war zone, but the commanders won't let him go. They cite security risk to the other troops because Harry would be a target.
Like the enemy doesn't want to kill the British troops already... |

It doesn't make him any better than any of us. In reality, his being a member of the royal family is a hindrance to him and his regiment. Prince Harry wants to serve but being sent to the war zone makes him a target of the enemies and makes his men equal targets as well. He compromises his men in this instance. "Bagging the Prince" is considered a huge coup, a very major one. Imagine losing Prince Harry AND his men??? This would be very devastating to the free world. |

you do know that he doesn't mind dying for his country. it's his father who doesn't want him dying for the country. he is no better than anybody. however he is royalty which makes him high on the social latter. sorry. |

this is not Harry's fault he wants to go there, but the queen wont let him, harry said if he was not allowed to fight like the rest, he would leave, all the best |

And are his troop, who would be the victims of targeting along with him, lesser than me and you? Should they be the casualties of Harry wanting to make a point? |

I think its a case of he's damned if he does and hes damned if he doesnt

Think about it. He is a high profile target. You are further endangering troop that are near him or in the same unit as him not to mention the base he would be stationed at. I believe them not letting him go has more to do with the safety of other troops. |

All I can really say is that everyone should be able to serve if they want to. I recently saw an interview with the prince and he was trained and ready to go. Then he was told he could not by people worried that he would be targeted to make a point. As far as I am concerned I got the impression that he really did want to go and was told he could not and he wondered why he was not told that before he went through the training. I think that it should be his decision. But at the same time I understand why they thought it not a good idea. I don't think he is any better then you or I, but I do think that you and I would not be a target if we went to war either. So that is the best I can answer this question but I understand where you are coming from. |

The reason why it would be wise not to send him is that he and any of his troop around him, made up of 3 tanks, would be more of a target and a coup for whoever killed him. This would put troops lives at a higher risk status than others. If he was killed and his body captured they would parade it as a trophy movung the crisis into a whole new dimension...Re-percussions of this would be to great to contemplate......
If Prince harry was to go then the UK forces in the region would come under attacks at least 10 fold what they already have to sustain... |

even though his father doesnt want him to go what does that say about the whole of the royal family why should one person not go because of his status and what daddy tells him to do and others who went and fought for their country even without support from their family would you see this in the news if it was an ordinary person some people just let their status go to their head to much |

Not a case of him being better, but much higher profile. He would be the prime target and attract every lunatic insurgent in Iraq. It would be a massive security headache for the forces and put the rest of his regiment in even more danger than they already are. |

Come on guys think about it .................
Hes third in line to the throne.
Hes the best coup any Iraqis could have targetting him.
and the men under him are more likely to be attacked just cause hes with them.
Old osama would be in his element if they killed one of our royal family.
I really feel for this young man wants a career in the military but can not do the job because of who he is.
He is a real man and that's offensive to say anything to the contrary if the commanding general says no then that's that.
Harry didn't say i want to train all these months but i don't want to go to Iraq.
ho and by the way when we had to patrol in northern Ireland certain members of the royal Irish rangers were allowed to serve else where we didnt like it but lets face it would you want to fight in your own country very hard decision. |

I agree that he should not be allowed to go.can you imagine the danger he would be putting his unit in.he would immediately become a prime target for kidnapping or assassination.why does he need to go,what would it be proving?the cons far outweigh the prose.xxx |

He pants his pants on just like you do ... one leg at a time. It wasn't his choice. He wants to go. So quit complaining and get over it. I don't get what the big deal is. My husband has been deployed to Iraq for 11 weeks and 6 days, not that I'm counting or anything ... and I"M DAMN PROUD OF HIM!!! But that doesn't make him any more or less of a man than Prince Harry. Let the military do their jobs. There's a reason why they have those jobs, and they're working to protect more people than just the Prince. Why's it such a big deal to you? |

Bellyman so you want to die for your country join the army see the world before you die. |

he's not any better than any other ctizen in teh world except for probably a crminal. the only reason he's nto serving the army right now is b/c he's a PRINCE. so b/c of that random title, he gets what he wants. b ut besides that, he's just as nnormal as everyone else. i mean he is human.
but honetly, teh deciision is up to him to make. if he decides to go to battel, so be it. it would be nice for a change to see an Important" person sacrifice their life for their country so their nation would learn not to waste lives on needless wars. |

prince harry is no better than any of us he just likes to think he is. i don't see the point of having the royal family because they don't do nothing. |

It certainly seems like it all that money wasted to make him an officer. than not letting him go .He may as well resigned could not stand the sight of that little pr*** strutting around in uniform. |

He's our Regent so he is our better and it is our duty as Subjects to respect him as we should respect all Royalty- it's part of our heritage.
Young yobs- they don't work anywhere near as hard as their grandads did. Young hoodlums! |

Why are our Royals so unremarkable, despite the fact they have the best tutors, diets, "heritage", etc etc? |

if he isn't better than us..
why does he have a film crew following him while he's away...
just asking.. |

no one is better, he is more privileged thats all... people are smarter, richer, privileged, protected, etc.. but not better, its all about if you love yourself and how you treat other people and animals. |

I agree that he should resign, if he cannot function as an actual soldier.
But it wasn't his choice, was it? His precious patoot was re-assigned by higher ranks. So don't ascribe superiority issues to him, unless he tells you himself that he's too good for Iraq.
That said, as a Royal, in some ways he is more important that the rest of us. He is a symbol and should be protected.
Heaven forbid something should happen to him while he's wearing army drag, so again, he should resign and go live in a padded room somewhere.
Poor thing. |

keep in mind that any unit he would have joined becomes a target. a high profile target would invite assassinations or kidnappings.
maybe keeping him out of harms way is the best choice. |
