He went to a fancy dress party as a nazi. I thought it was funny, but then, i understood where it came from.

lol

A kid at a school I was at decided to dress up as Hitler one year for Hallowe'en. Bad move on his part. He walked across a friend of mine who was a very large and powerful guy whose family had been almost wiped out in the Holocaust. He picked the kid up by his throat and suggested he go back and change.

Nevertheless, despite that particularly bad decision I totally respect Harry, and all his relatives, for not choosing to hide behind titles and get their hands dirty.

I'll bet he feels better having Gurkahs around.

One of Harry's ancestors was a Nazi and a great friend of Hitler's, BTW.

To be honest, I think Harry and William have had it rough since their mother died. Sure they have money and priviledge, but they have a media circus continually dredging up the whole Diana conspiracy thing - and the recent public inquest was appalling. They've never struck me as spoilt brats.

I'm not surprised he went to Afghanistan just to get away from it.

I have no idea where they are nor am I obsessed with their behavior.

Continuing on with the same kind of bovine scatology, where is the clinton offspring serving? How about any kennedy's. Has any of them served since WW2? This can go on and on but is simply pointless in the extreme.

Glad to see him with the rest of the soldiers and in harms way.

Well not glad that he is in harms way but that he is willing to be there.

How long has it been since the last leader or major figurehead of a major country has been in battle?

Very Kingly

I went as Adolf Hitler for halloween. Yes Hitler is a bad bad man [whips hitler!!] but I did it just to prove a point that in America, I can dress up like anyone and have a good time. I went to a party and about 80% of everyone loved it and even won best costum. I don't see whats so bad about dressing up as a Nazi or even a bunny. Heck if people take it affensive then I just slap them back and say hey your devil costum affends me b/c the devil wants my soul and live in hell forever!!

News tonight indicated that Harry's tour may be cut short. It seems someone over there blew his cover and now since the press has puked the story up everywhere he's now a "bullet magnet" again.

I wonder if it was a "slip" or a way to get him rotated back early. The news did state that he was out on the lines as an air forward observer calling in air strikes. In his interview he said it was nice just being a regular person for a while. Perhaps the only time he'd ever have that.
