Shouldn't William like his brother Harry also do his bit?

[anotheoldgit]

There has been much reporting on those topless photos, both on TV, in the Newspapers and on AnswerBank.

Should Kate's husband (who is after all a serving RAF officer) carry out his duty along side his Brother in Afghanistan instead of swanning off to exotic distant lands on yet another 'honeymoon'?

If he did, then perhaps Kate instead of worrying herself about a few photos of her boobs, could become a true 'Princess of the people' by being 'at one' with all those other serviceman's Wives, Partners, Mums, and 'Mums to be' who face each day for 4/6 months anguishing whether or not their loved one's come home safe and sound and in one piece.

i am beginning to wonder if this is some sort of wind up

[Barmaid]

William has served abroad in the Falklands, albeit not in active conflict.

Harry is serving (and has served) in a hostile zone just as one of the boys and is respected as such. The reason I know this is that I know one of his fellow (albeit senior) officers.

[anneasquith]

oh no..... leave william where he is, he is now an expert handshaker, in the near future he may cut a ribbon at an opening ceremony, and may even 'plant a tree ' ;0

[Kerosene]

anne,

I'd even loan him the scissors?

[emmie]

Barmaid, thank heavens, as kerosene doesn't believe it....

[sherrardk]

Kerosene - are you actually allowed to use scissors?

[Kerosene]

Only those little plastic ones.....if my carers unstrap my straitjacket for long enough!

[emmie]

they don't do that very often in mental health hospitals, not now, unless you are seriously trying to hurt yourself.

[Kerosene]

em,

You ever heard of 'bribery and corruption' ?

[emmie]

not recently.

[Barmaid]

So presumably my good friend is also involved in "bribery and corruption". lol, he'll enjoy that one.

To answer the OP's question. "No". William should not be carrying out his duty alongside his brother. He is not trained in combat situations. He is trained in search and rescue operations. The MOD have a policy of only deploying people that are trained for the job, rather than sending any old bod out there to suit the whim of some idiot on the internet.

[emmie]

ouch ^^

[emmie]

William has done considerable military training, but i am sure that as second in line to the throne he wouldn't, couldn't be deployed on active service in say Afghanistan, i expect he would have wished to though.

[anneasquith]

'' i expect he would have wished to though '' how can any of us know that william would wish to be in afghanistan ?

[Kerosene]

"..to suit the whim of some idiot on the internet"

Bramaid,

To whom could you possibly be referring? I could think of a few on here, mind. Very annoying...and irritating, aren't they?

[DaisyNonna]

AOG You obviously enjoy winding people up and then sit back and enjoy it. How very sad, I could almost feel sorry for you if I did nit think you are just being vicious.
William is doing an important and highly skilled job.
Bad enough that it appears that the 'spare' is being targeted in Camp Bastion, now you want the heir presumptive to be there also?
Byn the way, according to my dictionary a boob is an ignorant or foolish person. If you wish to discuss a woman's physical attributes please use the correct nomenclature.

[Kerosene]

Well said, Daisy. Hanging's too good for these people, I say! Off with their heads instead! Fling them in the Tower - every last one of them who fail to bend the knee and tug the forelock!

Complete subservience at all times! Know your places...peasants!!!

[boxtops]

kerosene, rant away but you are wrong on the residence statement - they live in Anglesey http://www.dailymail....-royal-fairytale.html because it's near where he's based.

[Kerosene]

boxy,

"rant" - Moi? Sorry to disappoint you, but their official residence is Kensington Palace - check it out, sweetcheeks.

Can't quite see the lovely Kate slumming it on Anglesey when the bright lights of London beckon, can you? Playing the dutiful little wifey waiting the return of her hero? Or maybe she just sunbathes topless until he gets back? Nah, don't reckon Welsh Wales sees that much sun, eh?

No, that's just the Daily Mail pulling the wool over the suckers' eyes, innit? Tut, tut, boxy, didn't really take you for a sucker?

[craft1948]

kerosene you are obviously an anti-royalist.................what a disappointing year you must have had.
