Prince William picks up gf in $3 million dollar helicopter...selfish or just wrong?

Question

So the UK soldiers fighting in Afghanistan have a shortage of helicopters, yet MR bubbles Prince William can go around picking up little Kate bubbles in a $3 million dollar helicopter for some tosser party. Now correct me if im wrong but since their livelyhood depends on the existence of their country, should they not be more focused on providing their defendors with all the equipment necessary rather than going through such extravagant measures to impress some drunk mild faced wankers......

Answer 1

I believe that Queen Elizabeth is worth about $650M (US Dollars). If the monarchy were to be abolished tomorrow, she would still control that wealth. Would this even be an issue if it was someone like David Becham picking up Posh in a helicopter? I think it's being blown out of proportion just because it was a politician rather than an celebrity who was flying the helicopter.

Answer 2

Only if he personally paid for the gas to pilot the chopper over there!   If the government (and I mean - YOU) then that is an entirely different matter!

Answer 3

Apparently, Prince William was defended by Britain's Ministry of Defence Sunday after landing a Royal Air Force helicopter at his girlfriend's house during a training session. The MoD said the exercise was an agreed part of his training as an RAF pilot and gave him the chance to practice a skill essential to flying in combat zones.

The latest landing on April 3 had been "fully authorized." According to the news, battlefield helicopter crews routinely practice landing in fields and confined spaces away from their airfields as a vital part of their training for operations.

These highly honed skills are used daily in conflict zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan. It added that after the helicopter landed, it was on the ground for 20 seconds and no-one got on or off. The exercise was "a routine training sortie that achieved essential training objectives.

Answer 4

I think that is selfish and wrong
