Bonny Prince Harry  |
|
I read with interest yesterday the story about the leak of Prince Harry's deployment in Afghanistan. I think that is so admirable of him. His family must be tremendously proud of his accomplishments. Then, I hear today that he had to be pulled out of Afghanistan due to the leak, which might compromise the safety of the young prince and his comrades. I think he was doing a good job there, and was just wondering how he would feel about this turn of events. I know that he originally wanted to see action in Iraq, but was prevented because the risk was too high. Do you think the media can sometimes be overzealous in reporting some things they should not? I do.

1. jhl930 (2836) | 2 years ago | I actually read that yesterday too and i even posted a discussion about this same subject...i knew that he was in the military but i didn't think that they would actually make him go to afghanistan or anything like that because he is a prince and all..I mean i thought they might let him into the military and all but i didn't really think that they would ever send him anywhere...but look out if something happens afgan will have england on them then big time...

worldwise1 (6126) | 2 years ago | I wholeheartedly agree with you, wolfie! And that very fact makes his sacrifice so much greater. I'm really miffed with the press and their inconsiderate behavior. They should never place anyone's life at risk just to get a story. Princess Diana would have been so pleased with her son.

3. carmelanirel (6342) | 2 years ago | Oh of course, the media has no boundaries when it comes to reporting, they don't care who it hurts, as long as they got their story...>. <

|
worldwise1 (6126) | 2 years ago | I know you are right, carmelanirel, but, in this case they have used the poorest of judgment. I don't understand how they can be so irresponsible.

carmelanirel (6342) | 2 years ago | I am afraid it is all about money, worldwise...:(

4. TheHairDresser (3366) | 2 years ago | I do world and he probably is cussing up a storm LOL the poor lad, I mean, he is like, can't I do anything? heheh Still, perhaps maybe his Father may be pleased he is not there anymore:)* Interesting that to be so famous does not allow a certain freedom that so many of us take for granted, isn't it world? To be constantly on watch for the media must be hell. Thanks for a great discussion once again world.(((world)))xo

worldwise1 (6126) | 2 years ago | I am sure that his father must be somewhat releived, Hair, but Harry had such a desire to serve that this whole mess is totally unfair to him. I should think they would want to protect him rather than placing his safety at risk in such a way.

5. Bev1986 (1172) | 2 years ago | Oh I definitely think the media is overzealous in reporting things! They are constantly saying, "But the public has a right to know this or that!" Bull. When it puts someone in danger to be reporting things like that, they need to keep their mouths shut and turn off the cameras.
| |

|
worldwise1 (6126) | 2 years ago | I couldn't agree with you more, Bev.

6. Shawchert (776) | 2 years ago | people just don't care what could happen to another, especially journalists, i am not saying all journalists are like this, i know a few that are nice, but they have to do "what the people want" and well i guess it tends to get others either in trouble or killed, I'd be proud to know that my son wanted to serve his country no matter what he is. Anyways the prince is probably poed because well he was taken out of the place he wanted to be, and felt he needed to be because he would have been a i guess liability to himself and comrads, did the papers say anything about EXACTLY which troop he was in? i know even if it is general people would still go looking for him.

7. winterose (17936) | 2 years ago | yes, allowing the media to talk about prince harry alerted the taliban to the fact that an air to the western throne was there along side of them.

| 8. goldic (24) | 2 years ago | I think Prince harry and of course Prince William should be a perfect example of everybody in the world. Even they from a big kingdom family, they still have a care with an ordinary people and they really concern about real world life kind. We should follow their kindness.
| |
| |
|
|
worldwise1 (6126) | 2 years ago | Yes, goldic, and I wouldn't doubt that it is due inlarge part to the upbringing of their beautiful mother, Princess Diana.

9. myrith (1043) | 2 years ago | Absolutely! I'm telling you when I saw that on television I was shocked, fearful and extremely proud of him as if he was mine.I guess he showed all the naysayers there is more to him than smoking, drinking and girls.
| |
| |
|
|
worldwise1 (6126) | 2 years ago | I agree, myrith, and I would have to say that he is his mother's son.

10. indium (1587) | 2 years ago | It was always the way that the king would lead the nation into battle so i think if the war is being fought in teh name of the country then he should be there. However he only ended up in the military as he's not clever enough to be anything else, he had to have help to make it through an art exam. i don't like that fact that the media can be cowered in silence that easily, after all the blackout lasted for 10 weeks, but the whole situation is between a rock and a hard place. It's always going to be difficult for royalty to have anything like a normal life.

worldwise1 (6126) | 2 years ago | I don't know just how it is you have inside knowledge that he is not "clever" enough to do anything else, indium, but that sounds pretty judgmental to me. It takes courage to go off to war on the part of anyone. The fact that he was in a position to beg off from the responsibility shows what his true character is.
| |
|
|
indium (1587) | 2 years ago | It's not insider knowledge, his exam result were published in UK papers. they did not qualify him for anything else. I'm sure he's a lovely guy and all that but if you join the military straight out of High school is does say 'think as a pound of mince'. Following orders doesn't take courage.
