Prince Harry!! is this a case where the media?

Question

has miserably failed and how can they ever expect the people at large to ever respect them again and thats not our own media in UK/ i'm refering to USA/Germany and Australia is this a case of money and to h**l with honesty//\I have just read the young man has to return home which of course there is no alternative but good on you Harry you proved it wasn't bullshit by saying you wanting to go with your lads

Answer 1

The bean-spilling media has no ethics other than money.

Answer 2

I really wanted him to get killed.. you know... just to see how everyone would have reacted to the news and whether his funeral would surpass his mothers.

Answer 3

What I wanna know is, if they were keeping the royal chav's presence a secret to protect him why didn't they keep the presence of the other (proper) soldiers a secret too?

Oh!

Yeah, I forgot!

The un-royal soldiers are expendable, and it plainly don't matter if they get killed. But God forbid anything happen to the precious royal one, eh?

And now his cover has been blown, so to speak, it's time to get him out of there. But it's okay to leave the common grunts behind because, welllllllll...

They are just common grunts after all.

I find this whole royal PR stunt absolutely beyond contempt; it makes a mockery of every brave man and woman who has been hurt or injured in real warfare and it's a disgrace that so many of the plebs in this country and elsewhere have brought in to it.

Answer 4

PRIDE and well done to all the armed forces for what they are doing!!! but you know Harry signed on to do a job the same as every other armed forces person,,, gets paid the same amount as like wise soldiers, and so he should do the job he`s paid wherever that may take him, I have 2 sons out in Afganistan,, there doing their job and risking all, i wish i had the power to 'pull' them out but i accept they have to do a job their paid to do, HARRY should be allowed to do HIS job, or he shouldnt be in the armed forces period!!!!!!!

Answer 5

Yeah, its a shame that some nobody has to ruin a young man's dream.

Shame of the Drudge Report.

Answer 6

Your question and comments are spot on, do the press have any respect . This could have put prince Harry and his mens lives in much danger . What some people will do for money shocks me .

Answer 7

It is absolutely disgusting that the person opened there big mouth putting the lives of all the troops at risk.

Answer 8

i agree. harry is a soldier just like all our other boys out there. he doesn't get special treatment when he's on the front line so why does he get it in the media? even the news at 10 extended their programme lastnight because of this "shocking revelation". SURELY only bad can come of this - because some american reporter decided to leak the pictures following notice of a total media blackout to protect him (common sense really, he's in the most dangerous part of afghanistan, and what a triumph it'd be for the rebels to kill/capture the prince). i agree - these people are selfish with no regard for others and in my opinion, they should be punished for it, but that's the media for you. if you saw harry on itv news lastnight you could see that being an army officer is what he really wants to do and i know the country's proud of him, it's just a shame someone spoilt it.

...well, i could talk about this all day but i have work to be doing ^_^

Answer 9

I dont know how to answer you, but I'm glad he wasnt hurt

Answer 10

They have been keeping in a secret, so the terrorists wouldn't hurt him, somebody just had to as we say "spill the beans". People only really care about what famous people do and they have no privacy.

Answer 11

More "friendly"fire from the americans.They have done well,haven't they!Little wonder why there is so much anti american sentiment around the world.

Answer 12

The media didn't fail. They kept quiet about Harry being in Afghanistan, so good on 'em.

It was a scumbag american reporter who leaked the story. So now Harry has to come back, or our soldiers will be put at risk.

Well done , america. You've dropped us in it again.

Answer 13

I think Prince Harry serving in Afghanistan says a lot about his commitment to his country and his fellow servicemen/women.  Certainly it is a shame that his cover was blown by foreign media, but this is one occasion where the British media have shown solidarity towards serving in the best interests of our troops.

His withdrawl from service is sensible for the short term, for if he were to remain in Afghanistan, his high profile in itself may compromise the safety of his colleagues.
