The 'I don't like England much" line is getting a lot of mileage now that reuters and the AP have picked it up.
Well, he is willing to give his blood for the country - there is no need to like the situation he has to live in there. I hope this quote will be received how it was meant: as saying that this prince of the blood prefers live as fighting soldier to the way he is harrassed at home while having all the privileges.The 'I don't like England much" line is getting a lot of mileage now that reuters and the AP have picked it up.
how long dose long dose a soldier have to stay over seas to recieve a campgin ribbon? A poster on BBC website said that Harry would not get one because he had only been there fo 10 weeks is this true ?You are wrong there, the worst one is having limbs blown off or losing your independence due to massive injury!
Why is it an insult, every member of the forces who serves in a war zone is incredibly brave, it is just that the majority of people couldn't care less about soldier A.
It's come across as he doesn't want to live here. He wants to be an 'ordinary person' not living in England. Not exactly glowing credentials for a Prince of the UK.

...... I expect they're hoping that if they can get people riled up about what Harry said, or implied, or is said to have said, they'll forget that it was the media that screwed things up for Harry in the first place.
The Taliban may have had their suspitions, but I would imagine when the Australian rag first published the 'news' on Jan 15th and no other paper gave it headline ratings, they doubted the authenticity of the article.
I think mostly because taliban try to kill everyone against them someone important like harry would be big statement for them as they do not care. I think it honorable that he went with courage, because not even most regular ppl want to join army with war, but he should not have at all with risks for so many. Maybe he is not big target anywhere else but obvious he would be in war zone just as all soldiers are, but him more.I don't understand why the heck the Taliban would be after him ..now that he's coming back...why? they shoulda done something years ago if he was sucha huge target. I wonder if they are going to be moving the rest of the soldiers that we're with him...I imagine so right?
I'd like to think that you're right, but I suspect that the Taliban's Intelligence (courtesy of Al Qaeda's great wealth and power) is quite as good, if not better, than the West's in some instances. I have absolutely no doubt that sympathisers in Australia passed the news on and that Harry's absence from the UK was duly checked out and confirmed. Incidentally, the news was first published on January 7th; 15th was the second article. That the story ran over two weeks is quite suspicious, to my mind. Someone, somewhere, wanted this story to break.

This seems to be a repeating pattern - after the death of Diana, the media turned the focus of negativity from themselves onto the royal family. Seems to be happening again. I expect they're hoping that if they can get people riled up about what Harry said, or implied, or is said to have said, they'll forget that it was the media that screwed things up for Harry in the first place.
