Should Prince Harry go to Iraq? - Page 3

If other people have to go, what makes him any different?

Other people have died, so why shouldn't he if it happens.

He is all for going, its the media that is causing the M.O.D to have second thoughts.
And what makes him different is he is a Prince if you didnt notice

I cried watching her interview...

Anyway, I do think Harry should go to Iraq as he is evidentally all for doing things to cause his late Mother to turn in her grave.

Even if she is going to hex him to high hell for it all...

I like Locky, he says what he thinks with no frills whatsoever(even if he does capitalise the first letter of every word)

Yes he should go, it is after all his bloody job.

I believe he would agree with you. The question is, does the propaganda value of claiming his scalp put his comrades at greater risk of an escalation in the insurgent bombing campaign?

Then they should not have let him sign up in the first place, after all when you sign up for the forces you do so on the basis that you may actually have to go somewhere nasty one day.

very true

Considering the military records of some in the Royal Family, I very much doubt they are pushing for him to be given a safe job.
The MoD will be looking into what effect it will have on their operations if he is sent into the area.
If it is likely that insurgent attacks will increase dramatically, thus making it more difficul for everyone there, and increase the costs both financially and in human life, then it's understandable that they would not wish to get into that position.
If he was captured it would be unacceptable to the goverment for him to be abandoned.
If he was beheaded, there would most likely be an escalation on our sides, and a major backlash against all Asians in this country by people who can't differentiate between a murdering psychopath in the Middle East, and someone going about their business in this country who happens to have similar skin tone. Come on, these fools don't even know the difference between Muslim, Sikh or Hindu, hence why several Sikh temples have been attacked. They can't grasp that beard+turban=/=Muslim

Well if you give such a **** about 'normal' soldiers, put yourselves in their position, would you want to serve with him, knowing that you are going to be targeted even more than normal? I know I wouldn't want him anywhere near me if I were over there, I don't think a single serviceman would knock him if he isn't allowed to go

Whatever happens its a no win situation.

If he doesn't go people will say he's used his postion to get out of going, and if he goes and onof the men with him is killed it will be if he hadn't gone they would still be alive because they wouldn't have had a royal target.

Will you accuse him of raping Iraqi women like you've done for other soldiers?

Out of curiosity, what's with the 3rd option in the poll? I'm all for the 'Who cares' part but, last time I checked, Harry is still a 'senior' member of the royal family.

I'm no fan of the royal family, but at least give the guy the respect he deserves - he wants to go and serve his country...

I think it's being implied he isn't the future Kings son
