It is not the same as Andrew being in the Faulklands, he was a pilot, on ship most of the time, the "ememy" could`nt single him out ..........Harry will be on the front line, in amongst other soldiers, he will become a greater tarrget. these people are already boasting what they are going to do with him when they capture him.. it will spirral us into an even deeper conflict to get out of..... can you imangine if he was killed, or held to ransom .
I would be doublely worried if I had a son/husband serving anywhere near him, and for that reason alone , he should not go.
What worries me more about the change of decision to send him is if the British army can faff about changing their minds on such a basic decision, how good are they are the more serious decisions?
Not really a decisive way to run an army is it?

The thing what bothers me is now we have withdrew him what happens now, the next war we fight (being england with will be involved in one) all it takes is for whoever we are fighting to threaten him again and he does not go, therefore the high cost of training him has been wasted, he may be given an office job but thats unfair on the others who fight and work to one day get that type of job. The MoD as ballsed up big time here and we have it all again when william is ready.

I think the fact we are still there is bad enough without adding fuel to the fire ..Iraq may think they have won but then they think they have won anyway

Personally he should go, when I saw the pictures of him in full combat gear I wouldn't have recognised him and I don't think Iraqis will either as long as the media learn to keep their mouths shut.

spot on then and spot on now
