Yes, but what has that got to do with it. I served in the military as well and witnessed the death of four of my mates. At the time I had no choice but to swear allegiance to our appalling unelected monarch; I don't think it necessary to explain the unwelcome consequences surely if I had not? I would much prefer it if we had a democratic oath that focussed on people and country and not a single unelected person in perpetuity.Nevertheless these two royal pampered brats were given privileges denied other servicemen and women. For example, using a helicopter for private pleasure while stationed at an active base in this country!!!! And as for Prince Harry - what was it he said while at Sandhurst? Not verbatim, but "I will never leave my men..." That is a joke - why? because he was on the next jet pronto to leave the Middle East and return to his boozing in England, once things got a bit hot! And no, I can assure you that with his combat gear on, not even daddy or granny would have recognized him. So much for that facetious argument from the media and 'top-brass' that he would draw fire on to his men.
