Prince Harry

now I am getting quite confused over our presence in Iraq. The reason for my confusion. Well it is the way in which their seems to be differewnt treatment for different people.Prince Harry is widely quoted as saying that unless he is sent to Iraq, the front line as it is called, then he will resign from the army. Now, if what he is saying that if he is posted to, say Germany, then he will not go and effectively refuse the order. Can we take it that he will then be courts martialed for refusing an order. The problem is that he cannot just resign he has to be released. Just because he is a Prince does not mean that he can expect special treatment.Now Kendall-Smith refused a whole series of orders and he is now serving time in jail and fined £20,000.My son, Ben Griffin, has been released from the army on grounds of conscience. You know that thing which seems to be lacking in so many, in particular, politicians.Now can anybody explain, in plain English, why Prince Harry should be allowed to decide his postings. Surely, every body can see that he would be a target for any terrorist and that he would be putting his comrades in jeopardy. Sad for him but unfortunately true.In the meantime poor old John Reid is trying to manfully explain what exactly our troops are going to be doing in Afghanistan and, how they will be different from the awful Americans who are there in revenge for 9/11 and are working on orders to seek and destroy.Finally, in Iraq there is going to be a new government so please get our troops out now because there is definitely not a civil war, there is just a little sectarian violence. Troops out now, because this will be the final chance.
