Prince Harry vs. the Taliban

^^^^^It'd have to be an American cap to be that polarised (good/evil) and totally lacking in humour - a British cap would have at least contained some semblance of irony.

Incidentally I have just seen an interview with the son of a dead soldier, stating that it seems something of a propaganda exercise Harry's return being so well publicised. His point was that seeing how well equipped Harry and his fellow soldiers were obscures a more general problem of troops being under equipped on the ground.

You're kidding, right?

Quite possibly, though we've always been underequipped (we went into WW1 with enough shells for about 48 hrs intense fighting and into WW2 with the Boyles anti-tank rifle.) In the end the defence budget isn't going to be increased, so you do with what you've got...
