Have your Say from the BBC

Okay so maybe I should stop reading the Have Your Say Articles on BBC News but some of them just get me so annoyed!

I've just been reading about the reasons behind the media blackout around Prince Harry's Deployment to the Helmand Province.

The majority of responses share my view that this was a good move, I've got family serving in Iraq at the moment and probably can't being to imagine how dangerous it is normally, never mind if the enemy are aware a prize like a UK Prince is around .... anyway not everyone agrees with my view so this is what I added!

"Wouldn't it be interesting to see if the people complaining about Prince Harry wanting to be a "normal" soldier were in fact the same ones calling for him to grow up and get a real job only a few years ago?

The Royal Family can't win either way, if they do ceremonial functions people whine that they don't have a real job, yet, if they get a real job people whine that there just pretending to do the job. Prince Harry was trained as an Officer, he is employed as an Officer, why then should he not be an officer in our Armed forces?

The British Media held out not because they wanted to keep the Royal Family happy but because they recognised the lives of our Armed Forces are worth more than a simple story.

As for the fact they had camera crews with him at least for some of his deployment ... of course they did! Imagine the uproar if the BBC had come clean about the cover up and then announced we have no idea what he's been doing for 10 weeks!

That would have been a cover up!

Well done the BBC and thanks for reminding us that 24 News does not mean putting our Armed Forces in Danger"
