Are you disagreeing that he is not the spitting image of Hewitt?

You are Trolling with the wrong person
Why dont you go join the Army or are you a coward ???

You seem to give lots of judgment on other people from your chair, so get out there and see the world

Back on Topic, i still insist that even if he wants to go there is to much of a risk to his men, if the media had laid off them yes but the way it is now no.

What with this nonsense about "trolling"? Because I disagree with you? Because we have a difference of opinion?

Can't we just have a constructive debate or healthy difference of opinion without resorting to petty name calling?

And why would I want to go join the army?

I seem to give lots of judgement from my chair? It's called "opinion" and is the main ingredient of a debate.

Chill out, bro.

I am chilled out, i just get annoyed when people that have never been there or done that give there opinion.
Its like a man trying to tell a woman what its like to give birth

We were discussing the possibility that Harry might not be the son of Charles, not what it is like in the army or at war, so not sure how I was professing to 'know it all'.

Nope, they dont know pain until they have had kidney stones

Back on topic again,
Yes as a soldier he should go and he wants to.
But the press will follow him and put him and the men near him in danger, thats why i say no.

I totally agree with that, and I do appreciate that it's a tough call for the MoD, but at the same time what kind of message is it sending out, both about the army and about the royals? The logic behind it might be sound, but try telling that to a grieving mother or wife of a soldier who was forced to go and died in Iraq.

What is the point of Harry being allowed to join the army if he is not allowed to go to war like everyone else in the army?

NO1 they are not forced, the British army is not a conscript army.
NO2 Please see last post

Can't see any resemblance myself.Not even a spitting image.

Looks more like his mum, unless people think she wasnt his mum

Harry does look like the "Runt" of the family. That aside, he has trained for combat. He is now competent to serve. It should be his Commanders decision, based on operational requirements. Having read some posts, its clear some have no idea what contribution the Royal family have made. Some comments regarding Andrews involvement in the Falklands war are just pants.

Andrew served in the front line & got a damned site closer than most to being blown out of the sky, a choice which was HIS, & his commanders. Now Charlie had a cushy number, Captain of a minesweeper, patrolling the solent, nevertheless, he was available. HMQ, if I remember, served in WW2, in the fannies or something. Prince Philip, the Greek, did his small bit, Mountbatten was a special forces commander, there are others too. I wonder how many have a family who have all served in the forces.

I can understand why Marky said " I just get annoyed when people that have never been there or done that give there opinion". Its difficult for ex military peeps to listen to criticism. Unless you have been in the sh*t, you just don't know what its like. For all their pomp & ceremony, the royals do serve.

Personally, I don't think Harry should be deployed to Iraq, there is too much press about it now. If he goes anywhere, it should not be made public knowledge. The pressure on this boy is extreme, he is expected to be the best, how many of us could operate with that much pressure. We must remember, he is responsible for a dozen men, & every one just as important as him.

If we prove that James is his daddy, then this Iraqi problem will go away.

To not go out there makes a mockery of the royals and the armed services. He wants to serve, and should. He's a grown man, royal or otherwise.

I don't think he'll attract any more attention as he'll be unrecognisable.

Let's face it, He wasn't recognised by the US army without all the gear on when he went in to the US shop at Lakenheath recently.

Maybe in a personnel carrier he will be recognised by the us airforce

Would not worry so much about al queda getting him.
