Pat Tillman comes to mind, should have been just another joe but the media made his enlistment like the second coming.

This Harry should have been just another Royal doing his duty, but the media had to make some money and the voyeuristic public needed their fix.

It's the celebrity worship that runs rampant today in the media.

All deception. The media worked in conjunction with the British military to confuse the enemy. Harry has already deployed and his unit is patrolling regularly while the enemy is consumed with the media reports about him staying behind.

Ok, maybe not...

That would defeat the purpose of the leftist elite media types so we know that's not really what happened. Great story though.

The media and Prince Harry needs to remember that the troops come first. It was good that the General had the balls put a stop to the deployment when PerSec/OpSec has been so severely comprimised.

What the fuck ever happened to; Loose lips sink ships.

Stop embedding reporters.

Stop with daily press briefings.

Tell the media if they don't show all sides they get dick.

Just like any joe that's wants a crack at it. I would be pissed if I were Harry.

This veers a little away from Harry but does concern media.
Does it shock you guys at all that so much media comes from the troops themselves these days? It seems that the tech in camcorders, digital cameras, cell phones with photo and video capability the soldiers themselves are releasing images and clips that never would have been seen otherwise esp in past conflicts.

I am not saying this in a necessarily negative context, it's just a bit shocking.
I'm not sure how I'd handle it as a troop leader.

Uh Abnjack there are regs that are supposed to control that. From what I have heard Art.15's have been given for some of the stuff posted.

**AbnJack** · 05-21-2007, 05:31 PM

rgr...I didn't know that. I see so much posted on youtube and such.

Back to Harry. I still think they're missing the opportunity of a lifetime to have the greatest ambushes ever!!!! He could pull em out in the open and they'd be easy to hose down.

I say bring it on and let's get nasty. Sneaky little shits need a target and they're stupid enough to expose themselves to get it. GI Joe ain't gonna get anyone excited but PRINCE HARRY would have em stumbling over themselves to get at him.

It's crazy enough that it just might work! I love this plan I would be happy to be part of it.
