As a 'commoner' it really gets to me the attention given to an already
over privileged family, yes I am referring to the family aka the
Windsors.

It was not that long ago, in terms of time, that is was the king or
queen of England who led their troops into battle. Things have changed
and the armed forces are now 'loaned' to the serving government. Has
anyone heard the monarch's views regarding Iraq?

Due to the right they seem to have enstowed upon themselves all
members of the family, after completing initial military training,
enjoy accelerated promotion and soon hold a senior position not
achievable by many!

Let Harry go to war, he deserves the right to live or die just like
thousands of other husbands - fathers - sons and daughters who have
been sent to war. It is unfortunate that this one is possibly without
cause as much as the crusades were a number of centuries ago.
Obviously lessons were not learnt or if they were they were not passed
down. Bush may be ignorant of European/Middle east  history, England
has no excuse?
