Re: Prince Harry leaving the armed forces
 

i recall a story where uk troops had to wear high viz jackets over their comoflauge when in afghanistan when on base which kinda makes them easy for snipers to see

this must be our governments way of leveling the playing field

Harry was never a real soldier as is his brother,all bull.

Does one presume that you have experience of flying an attack helicopter in combat conditions?

Re: Prince Harry leaving the armed forces
 

Now Barry, you can't argue with an expert. jack preston obviously has inside information.

He can probably confirm Harry didn't do the 200 mile trek to the South Pole either.

Or perhaps jack preston is 'all bull'?

A royalist i am far from but Jack Preston is all bull to me.:rolleyes:

Full of BS more than likely

Re: Prince Harry leaving the armed forces
 

Nope I'm not a great royalist either, but the Princes have served their Country, what choice did they have? It's a family business.
They gave their service, has Jack Preston offered as much as they have?

Re: Prince Harry leaving the armed forces
 

Yes you had to do this at the main operatin base it was just a hi viz belt! With there not being any kind of street lights up it's very hard to see anyone else at night when walking around so the trucks could still see you with the reflective belts!

Re: Prince Harry leaving the armed forces
 

the pictures shown were of our troops wearing full high viz jackets in daylight over camoflauge not belts

but i wasnt there personally so can only go off what i saw on tv and the internet

Re: Prince Harry leaving the armed forces
 

Health & safety mate, the fact that they're in a combat zone & terry taliban is trying to blow them up & shoot them ......... go figure! ;)

Re: Prince Harry leaving the armed forces
 

between high viz jackets and tony blair and labours reluctance to equip our troops adequatly its a miracle they made it home and for those that did make it home it was in no way thanks to anything tony blair and his pals did but the fortitude of our guys and gals

its all forgotten and swept under the carpet now but at the time it was common place to hear how badly our troops were equiped and a lot had to go without basic body armour
