I agree entirely. As far as I'm concerned it's laughable that's he joined tharmy and cannot serve in a war (not that there should be one at the moment but that's a different discussion.).

Yes I'll admit he would have probably been more of a focus for the Iraqi army - who wouldn't kidnap a Prince?! But frankly I don't believe in the royal family, I do respect them out of being a British person but I see no need for one bar tourism and tradition. The hardly have any power left anyway - this is also another debate.

Either he should quit the army, or become a clerk or something else - I agree with Mr Keys comments it does lower the value of the lost men and women that we have suffered in Iraq.

I agree it's probably the right decision - heck I'd go in for the shot myself if I was an enemy sniper, or at least try and capture him - it's pure genius to do that. However it was foolish of the media and him to make a big deal about going there in the first place.

It's only the right decision for the safety of his brothers around him, NOT his own safety. That's just pathetic.
