Which is why I think their safety should not be guaranteed.

Guys,
It might have been a yank website that first broke the news on the internet but. Sadly, and quite disapointingly it was Australia's "New Idea" womens magazine that broke the news leading to everyone finding out.
The same magazine has been coping a pasting here due to the current poor level of investigation prior to running storys. They have been caught out a few times now printing blatant b******t storys and then giving a fake trite apology when brought to task for it.
This magazine once had a very good reputation for running credible storys, but now under its current editor has degenerated into a petty tabloid scandle rag!!!!!
My rant over.
One very disgusted Aussie!

In my battalion it is every blokes dream to go to the 'Ghan', for those who have not been. You don't train during the week to not play on the weekend. I feel sorry for him as man who is rightfully doing his duty for his country, where generations of cowards have stayed in their castles. The United Kingdom and the Commonwealth should be rejoicing that the third in line of the throne is putting his life in risk like thousands of his countryman and allies.

Harry's father said today that Harry was especially knocked back by his sudden removal from Afghanistan because he really wanted to return with his regiment as and when. His father also said that as for himself, he was just relieved to get his son in one piece.

Freedom of the Press to the point where it puts peoples lives in danger doesn't seem that free to me.

Since they sure as heck don't give a damn about the safety of others.

They can't do that, but I think it's a good idea...

Which means they just end up getting in the way, and getting shot. And then they blame the soldiers for them walking into the middle of a street battle.

Harry's tank unit was fighting with the Ghurka Rifeles and during his time in camp he wore a baseball cap with the USA flag on the front and 'we do bad things to bad people' on the back.

But I suppose personal freedoms that don't allow the government to ease drop on suspected terrorists and can possibly lead to people being killed is ok? It's the world we live in, Freedom of the Press is necessary for a society to be truly free, otherwise there is nobody to inform the people of the actions of our government.

Our press has striven valiantly over a decade to save us from going down with a sinking ship. Unfortunately a befuddled electorate has been asleep and government too strong continues to completely ignore and disrespect both commonsense and the wishes of the people. The politicians response to 'we have no bread' is 'That so -we have plenty and we want more. And we know how to get it - we vote for it - so screw you . You want the referendum we promised in our Manifesto - forget it.'

Wallibies................You said that generations of them had stayed at home safe in their castles..........King Georges V1 brother the Duke Of York died in WW2, Queen Elizabeth the Queen mothers brother was killed in WW1. Queen Elizabeth 2 served in uniform as a driver in WW2 in the Home counties, not quite the front line but you stood a chance of getting strafed or bombed, then Andrew went to war in the Falklands, is this what you meant by sitting at home in their Castles

we do bad things to bad people - I think I got a new motto.
