Prince Harry’s wishes to go to front lines are somewhat unreasonable. Does he think of people, who may be injured, while protecting him? Why doesn’t Prince Charles talk to his son and explain him the situation in clear terms?
Apart from dismissing 99.9% of the gamekeepers employed, who will do all in their power to eradicate anything that might kill the birds and chicks they want their estate owners and guests to shoot, there is very little anyone can do.Fair enough.... It is a forum where we discuss our opinions and thoughts. But still, I would rather do something if there is something to be done. I just don't know what.... Like you, skydragon, I am suspicious and I wish more could be done. I just don't know what, and I feel frustrated by continued complaint about the situation and no obvious resolution.
There are very few estates that do not allow or cover up such crimes and with paltry fines of £500, nothing will change!They always this about Harry. There is no proof that he actually said this. If he did say this then I agree basibially. He seems to say that feels that he dose wants to feel useful and that he may use his training. At the remembrance parade in Windsor.I saw some Pictures of him he had no patches that could be seen on his uniform and he wore no name patch either. Was there a reason for this? He usually always wears all patches including the name patch.

In Harry's case this is only partially true, imo.
Many junior officers and lower ranks, upon completion of their training do not get posted where they wanted to be, whether into or out of a conflict zone. It is not something that is open to discussion for any of them.
Because the media were unable to miss the chance of a scoop and released details of where he was to be deployed, the MOD had no option but to hold him back. Not only for his own safety, but for the safety of all the men/women that would have been around him.
The minimum time he is required to serve, is the same as Edward - 3 years, although it is my understanding that he intended to sign up for a Reg C and did not take the SSC option.
I agree with you, however now that the decision appears to have been taken that he will not see active service, he should be allowed to leave by mutual consent. While ever he is a serving officer and receiving army officer pay, he has no right to threaten to leave unless he is allowed to do what he wants - the same as any other junior officer.
Believe me, having seen the goings on at one of the barracks this year, Harry and Beatrice simply havn't partied enough to get even the booby prize!Wait, this can't be right...wasn't the papers touting young Princess Beatrice as outpartying William and Harry just a few weeks ago?
Harry implementing a zero-tolerance anti-swearing week? Yeah Right!!!!!

It's just when he loses control on people, snorts vodka, and gets generally hammered. It's not the partying that reeks of instability. It's the way he breaks boundaries, I think. I just find Chelsy more within appropriate and responsible boundaries. We never saw her fighting, yelling, throwing a fit. She does the normal fun things: dancing, laughing, having drinks in a sociable, pleasant way. Harry just reminds me of a frat boy sometimes.
And your right I forgot about the norting vodka incident..I do see what you mean. I too generally hate seeing him do those things, I just hope he realizes what he's doing is well I dunno how to explain it I guess immature is the word I'm looking for.
