Well the man did turn up to a party wearing a Nazi uniform can we expect better [-X

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
The guy is doing his job that he has been trained to do at tax payers expense. From what I have heard, the story was leaked by the Yank press, which goes to show that the integrity of the Press in States is about as good as their diplomacy skills and intelligence gathering abilities, namely crap!
I admire the chap for going out there, as I have admiration for all the personnel of all the countries that are out there doing a job that is particularly crappy.
If Harry wants to go out there and do it, good on him. The fewer Taliban the better. He is one of few members of Royal family how has actually got the guts to go out and do 'The Biz'. A bit better that his Uncle Edward, who 'left' the Marines to try and be an actor.
As for showing the flag. So what? We are all on the same side aren't we? My son wore bits of Russian army kit and weaponary when he was in Afghan. Does that mean he was showing disrespect and being unpatriotic? Does it arse!
All the troops from all arms need our support, not forgetting the 'Civvy' medical teams, Police, Fire and Rescue teams that are out there as well. They don't get mentioned.

With reference to the 'corporate logo' on the cap, it reminded me of a visit that I did to USAF base at Mildenhall. I was given a presentation medal by the chief NCO of the Armourers Unit, that a picture of The Grim Reaper holding a smoking bomb on it, with the logo "helping our enemies die for their cause". In my opinion it showed a rare side to the Americans, namely humour. ;)

i give him the most respect as i do all people that fight for there country, i aint got the balls to do it, what they where ?, does it matter all the people moaning would you go and fight for your country, if you have  much respect but if you havnt dont moan about others,

datalas:
It's a Shame that none of the PM's (well former PMs) kids were in the army, we might have paid a bit more thought as to whether we got involved in the first place that way ...

Note, not trying to put a politcal spin on the matter, just suggesting that it might have had an impact on how we treat our soldiers and their widows.  The only real matter is disagree with the war if you like, heaven knows there are a whole host of reasons to do so, but you should respect the people we send over there to fight it for us.  Their leadership might be questionable, their loyalty isn't :)

And I say good luck to him, I'm semi amazed that he was allowed out to serve in the first place, and I dare say that he's had to fight more people to be allowed to "do his duty" than he has in the execution of it :?

Its a shame it was all leaked out!
I have certainley got more respect for him now, looks like the war is over for him now though! Clicky

Cheers
