Prince harry in the army haha what a joke

according to the british newspapers a couple of days ago prince harry is to be body gaurded by a 4 man team of sas troopers when he goes into battle as he is a liabilitie to himself and his comrades when he goes to war ( only a cold day in hell will he ever go to war ).
Can anyone please tell me why he has been allowed to join the army and what benefits can come of this.
1.he as i have stated is a liability to himself and others.
2.what possible benefit will this have on the army,just because prince harry wants to go off and play soldiers ( HA ), the army will be wasting resources and money just to keep little prince harry nice and safe ( when all other reguler soldiers will risk their lives ), this at a time when the brit armies budget has been cut and their resources are completly overstreched.

why doesnt he just go away to sandhurst and become an officer so he can sit on his arse and drink tea like all the other royal family.

prince harry toughening it up to go to war is an absolute joke.

Well that's a straight up load of bull****. I do not doubt he'll be treated like any other officer of his rank. To say he'll never be put in a battle situation is nonsense - Prince Andrew was and he didn't get any special treatment.

Because he met the eligability requirements. The benefits are the better defence of our realm, but that's probably an objective you don't support.

I believe he IS at Sandhurst.

Isn't one of the 'jobs' of any soldier on the battlefield to assist in protection of their comrads? Regardless of who that person may be? So if the British army is full of soldiers who, when on the field are busily trying to do this as well as whatever else may be involved, why are you so upset that they will perform this same service for Harry?

Would you rather he be used as 'bait'?

I think you are just ranting for ranting's sake. . .again.

All prince andrew did in the falklands was pilot a transport helicopter,
and prince harry will undoubtadly get preferential treatment.
anyone stupid enough to think prince harry will be dropped in the middle of baghdad is lying to themselves.

prince harry doesnt have a clue about how to dress or feed himself let alone be dropped into a war zone.
it is utterly ridiculous.
he should stick to wearing his ss uniform (family heirloom, seeing their all germans).
and beating up tax paying photographers (the photographer who pays his tax to feed and clothe prince harry)

More than you'd ever have the balls to do, I wager.

Again, load of bollocks and rather ironic considering you're fresh off the boat yourself.

Harry isn't on the Civil List.

It amazes me just how absolutely pig-ignorant one human being can be.
