    Harry: role model for the 21st century

    Despite being a Republican, I do admire Prince Harry - he really goes for it. I like the fact that he has been clear about being 'one of the lads' as it were and taking part in military action like everyone else in his unit. No special favours - just get stuck in.

    I have an idea that he would be a really good dancer as well - and I think his girlfriend is better looking than Will's chick.

    Maybe it's the fact that his father wasn't a royal which also helps.

    Yeah, he's a great role model. Prince of Chavs!
    tho, I have to admit, good on him for going to Iraq!

    .....He is the spitting image of his real dad.

    Perhaps Harry seeing action is all a big conspiracy to get him shot and out of the way...like they did with his mum.

    Hmm, it seems to be that it's been denied, so apparently not. But then who knows for sure?

    Actually, in that photo he looks quite a lot like Charles.

    I suppose there's still a possibility that Charles isn't his father, but all the evidence says it certainly isn't James Hewitt.

    Re: Harry: role model for the 21st century

    hmmm, not sure the fact that he's a commissioned officer and is going to Iraq makes him a role model.

    I've served with plenty of officers that were likely to get a bullet in the back if they ever saw active service. I certainly wouldn't call them role models.

    If, he earns the respect of his men, does something useful and doesn't turn out to be a complete drip, like so many junior officers before him, then maybe you can call him a role model.

    Oh, and if he dyes his hair

    - same silly ears, small mouth, nose - poor so-and-so that he is.

    Call me crazy, but I'm going out on a limb to say that when a kid looks that much like his Dad, I'm going to assume that he's the natural son.

    Oooh - but maybe he's had Secret Cosmetic Surgery, paid for by the Royals when he was a kid? I could get into this conspiracy theory stuff.

    As for Iraq, so what? Andrew served in the Falklands, and that was a proper war, not a glorified and incompetent police action.

    Except it wasn't a proper war, it was a conflict and don't get me started on how close we came to losing it. In a matter of hours the whole thing could've gone the other way.

    Has the UK actually been involved in any "proper" wars since WWII? Or have they all been "conflicts"?

    There was something I read a while back about no wars actually being "declared" since WWII - dunno if that's true or not. I think it was something to do with obligations of behaviour in a formal war compared to those when you're just, well, shooting at people in another country...

    Re: Harry: role model for the 21st century

    I think Harry going to Iraq is sheer madness....

    Lets face it, I'm not the biggest royal fan but, I do realise that he simply isn't 'just' one of the lads.

    I think he'll have a price on his head, larger than any other 'lad' out there and this will endanger everyone else's lives around him too.

    The added security must cost a fortune.

    And then, what happens if he does get killed in action?

    Yes, I know he probably wants to prove a point but at what cost?
