“If I am not allowed to join my unit in a war zone, I will hand in my uniform,”
"Henry Wales"

Have we no other educational underachievers available to be officers so we have to send members of the Royal family into countries with the highest chances of abduction anywhere on the planet? Do the British armed forces have to act as an adventure playground for princes at the taxpayer's expense in perpetuity? Can there be anything more crazy than sending intellectually challenged members of the Royal family into places where they stand a significant chance of being abducted? |
Do you know what a King's Ransom is? When Richard the Lionheart got himself abducted on his way back from indulging in a bit of religious genocide in the so-called Holy Land he was held for ransom and the Royal treasury paid up, nasty Prince John (villain of the Robin Hood myth) managed to raise enough taxes to pay the ransom, 150,000 Marks, a sum equivalent to the entire Gross Domestic Product of England for a whole year. History has been kind to Richard, not showing him to have been criminally negligent in putting himself in harm's way and letting the consequences fall on the shoulders of the taxpayer and not expressing his gratitude to his brother and his subjects. The English have actually been taught to look up to the genocidal French idiot as if he was some kind of English hero while his brother was a nasty evil, greedy Norman who raised taxes so he could dress in silk and satins. Silks and satins are very cheap compared to chain mail or a khaki Lieutenant's uniform and compared to the cost of fetters in an Austrian castle, an Iraqi cellar or an Afghan cave they might as well be nylon cardigans from the Oxfam shop. With holes in.
The best thing a young prince can do to increase the security of his nation is to stay in Windsor Castle and watch TV. The savings in security costs will be more than enough to send five better qualified junior officers to war zones to take his place. If he wants a military uniform to wear in public he can get one from a fancy dress shop. Again. |
