Should Prince Harry serve on the FRONT LINE or NOT

Personally i think so yes, he is a soldier first and foremost like any other and also an officer. He has done the same training as all the others and therefore should do the same job as asked. If his regiment were required to deploy to the 'frontline' he should go with his men.
From what i have read it appears that this is also how he feels, as i remember him asking for no special treatment what so ever, and also stating he wants to do his job the same as any other and that included being deployed on active operations on the frontline if so be it.

Harry has a lot of spirit. It's led to a somewhat colourful few years but good on him. The fact that he expects little or no preferential treatment is a shining example of how the royal family should behave. He and his kin are born into leadership and lets hope he is given the opportunity to shine.

Andrew isn't the prettiest of royals now is he? Perhaps they were hoping to prevent him from breeding? Harry however is a good looking lad.Tab wrote:If he wants to have a career in the Army then how can lead people if he does not take the same risks. If it was okay for Andrew to fly helicopters in the Falklands then why can't it be right for Harry to serve with his unit in Iraq or else were.
Ok yes i know i'm twisted to even consider it. But still....

The only issue i can see with him serving in certain places is the idea of him possibly creating an increased security risk. Take iraq for instance, is it not concievable to believe that Al Zarquari and his Al-Queda followers may relish the chance to take a pop at such a high profile target? Can you imagine the media frenzy/propoganda issue(for their benefits) if he were to be killed by them(hate to say it), you ask a suicide bomber if he/she would like to launch an attack on British soldiers that may include Prince Harry, and see what the responce may be. I just wonder if maybe there may be an increased risk of suicide attacks or any attacks on our soldiers in iraq if they knew Prince Harry was serving there???

Oi You, Lofty, C`mere
Yes Your Royal Highness,
I don`t want no special treatment or nuffink, gorrit?
Certainly Your Royal Highness
Can`t see it meself. How can he really be a career officer" just like all the others"
As I see it in my twisted view of what I like to call "reality" the Windsors haven`t exactly covered themselves with success in any Military Endeavour since PTG was in the Andrew. Look at usefull Ted, or Prince Bullshit, ffs
That`s my chance of a Knighthood gone for a ball of chalk
