A grandson of the Queen, Pince Harry, joined the Army and has been
serving in Afghanistan, doing what he joined the Army for, and is
highly regarded as a good soldier.
However, he has had to be pulled out now because the irresponsible
media in USA have handed him to the Taliban as a prime target and this
has placed him, and his colleagues in serious danger.


I have much more respect for Harry than any of the major candidates in
the US.


McCain ,, he was a prisoner of war for 6 F'n years! Your little inbred
has been in Afghanistan for a couple of months.

Give me a break.

Besides, the other five guys and girls that make up the British Army can
pick up the slack.

Whatever happened to the cigarette smoking sailor? The one that was
taken prisoner in Iran.

She was so ugly that even the Iranians didn't want her. They couldn't
afford to keep her [it] in smokes!

If it was't for the US, the former US, the one before it was ruined by
socialists... you Brits would be eating
sauerkraut twice a day!


What are you blathering about? You partied from the sidelines for two
years (1939-1941) and then joined up after we weakened the German
Military.
You could look at it another way too... you might (slight chance) be
governed by a man who wasn't smart enough to evade capture by a rag tag
army.




The rag tag ..
On October 26, 1967, McCain was flying as part of a 20-plane attack against
a thermal power plant in central Hanoi, a heavily defended target area that
had almost always been off-limits to U.S. raids.[52][53][50] McCain's A-4E
Skyhawk had its wing blown off by a Soviet-made SA-2 anti-aircraft
missile[53] while pulling up after dropping its bombs.[54][55] McCain
fractured both arms and a leg in being hit and ejecting from his plane[56]
as it went into a vertical inverted spin.[57] He nearly drowned after he
parachuted into Truc Bach Lake in Hanoi.[52] After he regained
consciousness, a mob gathered around, spat on him, kicked him, and stripped
him of his clothes.[57] Others crushed his shoulder with the butt of a rifle
and bayoneted him in his left foot and abdominal area; he was then
transported to Hanoi's main Hoa Loa Prison, nicknamed the "Hanoi Hilton" by
American POWs.[57][58]

Although McCain was badly wounded, his captors refused to give him medical
care unless he gave them military information; they beat and interrogated
him, but McCain only offered his name, rank, serial number, and date of
birth.[57] Soon thinking he was near death, McCain said he would give them
more information if taken to the hospital, hoping he could then put them off
once he was treated.[59] A prison doctor came and said it was too late, as
McCain was about to die anyway.[57] Only when the North Vietnamese
discovered that his father was a top admiral did they give him medical
care[57] and announce his capture. At this point, two days after McCain's
plane went down, that event and his status as a POW made the front pages of
The New York Times[44] and The Washington Post.[60] Interrogation and
beatings resumed in the hospital; McCain gave his ship's name, squadron's
name, and the attack's intended target.[61] Further coerced to give the
names of his squadron members, he supplied the names of the Green Bay
Packers' offensive line.[62][61]





You actually compared the Lt Inbred to this man..
