I was watching the reports about this on TV last night and couldn't help but be furious about the irresponsible nature of the press who reported this [allegedly an Australian magazine printed it and part of the American press picked it up.] I know they want to print news that they think will sell, but putting people's lives at risk? (not just Prince Harry, everyone serving with him.) Whose side are they on??

I don't know how those people sleep at night, I honestly don't. They should be sent to the front line and disguised as Prince Harry...

I agree, it puts everyone in Jeopardy. But whatever sells seems to be the order of the day for some journalists and to hell with the consequences.
It's irresponsible.

Yes, but if Harry couldn't even notice the camera crew following him around filming, or the photographers taking those wonderful pictures, then maybe he was already putting himself and others at risk?

Glad you`ve realised. Odd that,,, Never took you for a Monarchist..

Pretty obvious when you think about it though..Putting your life on the line for the last 10 weeks just to get your face in the paper.. Who on earth could think that???

Your very gullible if you believe that Harry has been putting is 'life on the line' for the last 10 weeks! The saying "he who controls the media controls the mind" kinda comes to mine when I read your posts

So it was just a `jolly jaunt` with some Gurkha actors for the sake of the cameras then?? Gullibility has never been a problem for me as I always check my facts. Something the paranoid should maybe do a little more of...
I`m just popping over to the other thread now to check on the link you have left me proving your comment of ``Accompanied the WHOLE time by cameras``. You did check your facts and can prove it,,,Didn`t You??

I`ve just checked, and that`s your proof is it,,,You said ``Whole Time``as if you`re saying they were making a documentary,, tut tut very misleading .
They are simply standard news reports. I ask again, Show me proof of ten weeks of ``Whole time`` coverage..I think the term is ``Put up, or,,,,,,,``

How about either taking the personal feud to DM, or, better yet, agreeing to disagree and dropping it?

Thanks
