So, the debate appears over - hes not going to Iraq.

i particularly love the last couple of lines in the story.. that bloke must really lurve the media now

Chock · 05-16-07, 08:47 PM

Yeah, he can content himself with the vital role of performing armed reconnaisance missions around Windsor now.

Dannatt said the widespread knowledge about Harry's impending deployment had contributed to his decision. "It is a fact that this close scrutiny has exacerbated the situation and this is something that I wish to avoid in the future" he said.

Good luck with that. The media would never allow it.

:rotfl:
And the head of the British Army decided to remain silent untill now? Or did the press ignored him, pretended the matter would never reach his hands?

If I were Harry I'd ditch the Army then ditch Britain and go marry some hot Princess out there.

baggygreen · 05-16-07, 08:56 PM

but arent they all related t-bob?

id probably not ditch the army, but ask permission to turn them onto everyone who wrote a story about where, when and how he was going to iraq!:rotfl:

Harry Hewitt, the latest waste of money from that inbred family.

He joined the armed forces. Amazingly, these people are expected to fight. Furthermore he joint a front line unit. Even more amazingly, these people get sent to fight (no matter how illegal/wrong the war is - they aren't paid to think).

So we have a soldier that has costs tens of thousands of pounds to change who has been deemed unfit to perform his job. Therefore he should immediately be dismissed from the Army. You cant have selective soldiers. Nobody elses son, daughter of relative gets that choice. They join up, they get sent where they're told.

There's an argument his unit is a higher profile target than normal due to him being there. OK if that's the case then it will ALWAYS be true no matter where they're sent. Therefore he increases the risk to every unit in any warzone he's connected to. If they deem that risk unacceptable as seems the case here then again, he isnt fit for purpose. He is incapable of performing the job he's been trained and paid to do.

So.. In short, He should either have been prevented JOINING the Army in the first place due to the increased risks to his unit or now someone has decided that is the case should immediately by dismissed from the Army.

The double standards and favouritism along with waste of tax payers money here is ridiculous. Its yet another waste of money from the inbred lunatics in their ivory tower.

Like the majority here i wish Harry Hewitt WOULD ditch Britain. And preferably take the rest of the inbred monstrously expensive family with him. We have no need for phil-the-greek and the other vegetables.

bradclark1 · 05-16-07, 09:03 PM

Not a surprise. I wounder what happens with him now as far as military service.

Letum · 05-16-07, 09:39 PM

I'm sure he will find something else to do.....Won't he!

Or....

bookworm_020 · 05-16-07, 10:38 PM

If he wanted to serve in the army, that means he should be sent. The fact that the media covered it and the the army let them get away with it, speaks loads about operational security.

If he goes then he's putting his fellow troops in danger, if he doesn't he's avoiding the danger - either way it's a field day for anti royalists.

It's been a media event, and at the end of the day there are a lot more important things they could be concentrating on.

robbo180265 · 05-17-07, 01:43 AM

The cynic in me would argue that the whole media circus revolving around Harry Hewitt, was calculated to keep him away from Iraq.

But then I hate the Royal family,a bunch of financial leeches who do nothing to earn the money that we have to pay for them.

I find you highly offensive. INBRED LUNATICS. haha, thats rich coming from someone from Wales. I agree with what your saying about the job, but I don't appreciate the insulting of the family.

Happy Times · 05-17-07, 03:50 AM

Ive got the feeling he really wants to go. They should send him in Helmland, thats were the real fighting is anyway.
