Should Harry be sent to the front lines?

[northwind]

I reckon he should... He'll never beat that Lord Voldemort otherwise.

Ayethangyoo.

Think its a good idea, send him to the front line, The ememy tries to take him out so protect him with more troops, wipe out enemy as you know where their main strength is gonna be

I would send the whole family there, but i heard the germans have placed restrictions on where there troops can be deployed

Jas...

Yes he should. He can't play soldier he needs to be one and giving him preferential treatment demeans the value of other troops. Plus he must be very use to getting shot at after living with Shotgun Prince Phillip and Trigger Happy Charles!

He's not a Prince, he's a bloody soldier - of course he should go if that's where his Reg is deployed.

I really don't see the problem here -

Prince Andrew was 2nd in line to the throne when he went to the Falklands.

Prince Harry is 3rd in line - why the great debate ?

Could it be that we were certain that we could beat the Argentinians - which was very nearly NOT the case having seen having seen a recent documentary - whereas a 'win' in Iraq is a pretty slim bet ?

To be fair to the guy he has said he wants to go & apprently has 'threatened' to resign if he's not allowed to. Although, a cynic might say it's easy to say you want to go if you're fairly certain they're not going to let you !!

The other question of course is - is it fair to troops who may be serving under him ? They are obviously going to be far more heavily targeted than those serving under any other officer - & it's not like they have a choice as to who their commander is.

Yes. If he doesnt then that just makes a mockery of all the other soldiers that are currently serving. What was wrong was the ammount of publicity that it got from the UK press. It shuld have had a reporting enbargo on it. Then no one would have known if he was going out.

he should go, he wants to go. if he doesnt get to go he might as well give up, noone serving under him will have any respect for him if he doesnt go.

bless him

I would not worry about the media being informed of his possible deployment....so many leaks in the MOD nowadays

I think in theory he has to be deployed if he is an army officcer, although lets face it, the insurgents will go to any lengths to capture him.

The only way his deployment could be feasible would be to treat his capture(which personally i think is quite likely!), as that of any other soldier. Unfortunately with the media and so forth it may prove impossible to do that.

If he is deployed the best resolution is preventing people from knowing where he is, but is that possible?

In summary , theoretically he has to be deployed, but in reality it is not worth the extra headache!

[Red ones]

I dont think he should.


I think it quite acceptable to pay our taxes to train soldiers to do their job, then to turn round and say that it too big a risk.


Sorry, I have changed my mind.

Of course he should, otherwise what was the bloody point of me paying my taxes to train him? I want my money back, just as my employer would want their money back if I choose not to use the training they pay for!!
