Bold guesses:

You're not serving.
You've never seen blown up civilians.
You've never wiped a double amputee's ass.

I have seen blown up civilians... you know the story about the first guess... you're right on the third guess..

No. Harry is going to Iraq to serve in non-combat support role.

Do you find it any coincidence that Harry announces he's going to Iraq, then 3 days later, England announces it's bringing home 20% of forces and converting the ohter 80% from combat to non-combat logistics roles?

Chelsea Clinton? What does she have to do with this? Her father's been out of office for nearly two full terms.

By the way, Harry's a trained officer and the Bush twins and Chelsea Clinton are mid-20's women that don't have an ounce of training, it's not exactly analogous.

You fucking Douchbag, I was trying to point out that no american in a position relative to Harry would dream of serving in the military. You are such a fag

Ouch, out come the names. Looks like you're getting sensitive.

By the way, there are no Americans in a position like his. His family has no real power anymore, they are there in essence to attract tourist dollars. You compared a military officer to three mid-twenties women one of whom's father hasn't even been President for nearly two full terms.

Don't get mad at me if your analogies don't work. If Tony Blair had a daughter and she went to Iraq then you'd have something.

Do you think it's just a coincidence that after a 47 month war, Harry decides to enlist AFTER England removes all troops from combat?

He has been at england's version of West Point, and cardio you are a fag. I have yet to see you contribute anything of value to any conversation in any of these posts. Once again my point is no child of wealth would enlist in America.

How ironic when your example used three mid-twenties women because that makes all the sense in the world.

If by fag you mean that I don't agree with your nonsensical point of view then I agree.

Yep.

But his family knew of longterm iraq war planning.

Why would he make this announcement 3 days before UK suddenly pulls men from danger?

There are no coincidences in politics, I think we all know this.

I'm not sure why everyone is taking my comment the wrong way. I'm not calling him a hero by any stretch but I do think it is more a commentary on the US society that someone in our country with the wealth he has would do the same. Even if for only a few days

I try to be a good liberal and resist my stereotypes of soldiers as - well, not to put too fine a point on it - violent reactionary assholes.

Sometimes it's harder than others.

We do not have monarchs. The british have a tradition of sending their young princes to the military.

I have never heard of presidents sending their sons to serve in the army.

Well, they're traditional. They think that a national leader, even a figurehead one, ought to be able to at least pretend that they served their country.

We more forward-thinking Americans have dispensed with that idea.
