well it looks like he'll be home in time for tiffin

It's a joke, he joined the Army to serve, if he comes home then we should treat them all the same and bring the rest back....

if its good enough for a silver spooned little **** then its good enough for the front line.....

Wow good first post bet you stay around and help a lot

If you are going to add to this debate at least make a grown up post and not a one sided Rant.

It's because everyone knows he is out there and that is a danger to himself and those around him..

I know. My son has been there last year . I spent 15 years in the army. You don't have to tell me how bad it can get out there.

If you are in the forces then you will know just how much of a target he and the men around him will become. Defending yourself on the ground is hard enough without every nutter in the area out to get a prize target. Can you imagine how many nutters would converge on that area over the next few weeks ????? THINK ABOUT IT

You appear to be missing the point - with him identified, the danger to him and the others around him is increased; so it is not the same as being out there for everyone else (imho).

He should never have gone in the first place...

I just want everyone out, its not our problem, we should never have followed the crazy yanks at the start.

Now on Iraq i would agree. But Afghan no. It was a problem that needed to be sorted. The history of abuse towards it's own people by Terry Taliban is well documented. Just for that abuse they needed to be delt with. Then there are the drugs that flow from that country. Destroying young people on a daily bases.

The sooner our lads get rid of the Taliban the better and i for one will continue to support them unlike those that will knock them at every turn but don't have the guts to do the job themselves. They know who they are.

**Damien** · 01-03-2008, 10:32

Plus, Unlike Iraq, The Taliban did have links/supported Islamic Terrorists. Iraq was also a massive human rights problem but we should have stayed and finished Afgansitan.

Matth · 01-03-2008, 22:57

His unit will be sad to see him go, you can bet they were never short of a night sight or anything else with him on the team.

With the ludicrous under-supply and overcommitment of forces, fighting under crippling rules of engagement, I'd question the sanity of anyone wanting to be in the army.

etccarmageddon · 01-03-2008, 23:48

there's hardly been any coverage of the Afghan campaign and what this has done is bring it back into being 'newsworthy'. it (harry's deployment) is starting to look like a PR stunt when you see the pages of coverage in the sun but one which is drawing attention to what the troops do. I'd say they have taken his deployment and used it to full advantage of the army. Harry has been well and truely 'used'.

which is a great benefit to those serving in Afghanistan who up until this week have been forgotten about.

Not by me they haven't, and many others I'm sure. And I'm looking forward to a close friend's son returning home on the 26/27th of this month having served the time he signed up for.

You meant 'forgotten by the media'?

etccarmageddon · 02-03-2008, 01:00

yeah mostly ignored by the media.
