kronas, I'm sorry but this has to be one of the dumbest things I've read for a long time. Perhaps people choose to join the armed forces to serve their country, or to defend their country in times of need.
The fact that our forces have been sent to places like Afghanistan under a (pretty obvious) political motive is neither here nor there - they are doing the job that they signed up to do, train bloomin' hard to do and, by the way, aren't particularly well-paid to do.
To suggest that people sign up just so they can 'shoot people legally' is facetious at best, and morally corrupt at worst. As much as you are entitled to your opinion (which you probably wouldn't be under a regime like the Taliban, by the way), I have to say that, in this instance, your opinion is wrong
Oh, and fair play to Harry for wanting to go out in the first place
