All our armed forces should be home from that hellish country.What are we doing there?

Especially if your son was one that would be singled out, possibly captured, and more than likely tortured and/or held for ransom. I think it is not only a good thing for him, but for the men and women who are with him, because just his being there puts the others in even more danger than they are already in at the moment. There is nothing like walking around holding up a big target is there! I would rather they pull his skinny red haired behind home and let the others, who HAVE to stay there have some relative safety. I know the word safety in this sentence is an oxymoron, but I threw it in there any way!

There was a troop of S A S there as personal bodyguards Annie.

Another small point to note - not that yours was small Annie. See the length of all the soldiers hair - the army must be getting modern in their auld age. Or am a auld fashioned .

Ye see, I did not know that! There is yer tax pounds at work, eh??

I had no idea the SAS were there with the wee fella, but they should have brought him home a while ago. I know that there is a history of all the royals being in the military, and even Randy Andy was in the Falklands, but he was a fighter pilot naw on the ground getting shot at!

His granny had no hesitation in letting him go.She knows more than anyone that throughout history Kings and royal princes have always played their part on the battlefield.

Aye right fae the back

Surprised that the M.o.D. took the time to inform Bill about his SAS bodyguard team... I cant say I have much time for Harry or the rest of his family but surely the fact that he wanted to go with his mates says something about him.. After all he was slagged off when it was thought he wasnt going.. Give him a bit of credit..
