The British Royal family still has some sense of leading by example.

I was trying to think of the name of the Queen's partner's appellation-Prince-Phillip because I remembered that pic's I see of him show him in a military uniform. I didn't mention him because I wasn't sure of his appellation.

Yes, this errr..."bunch", doesn't have any vets' in W's inner-circle of "yes-men" hence the term-"chicken-hawks" Lots of talk, little experience & it is translating into frequent policy blunders. However, these blunders may lead to multi-party talks inre:the region.

The only current international politician of power who has served in combat is ....................Jacques Chirac.

Chirac fought in the Algerian war.

I think that you have hit on a good point.

yeah, that's about the widest swath of destruction, albeit self-induced, the shrub is capable of without help from those who are enlisted to do the work for him and his billionaire constituents.

After seeing the shellacing Harry's been getting from the "Brit Press" regarding his youthful wayward ways, such as staggering around at three in the morning, after a night on the tiles with a couple of mates and a few sheila's. I reckon he'll be glad to get away from the limelight, and of course the paparazzi who hound the poor sod all the time.
Like his brother Will, he'll be in command of a troop of "Houshold Cavalry", otherwise known as the Blues and Royals, they drive armoured cars (don't quote me on this but I'm under the impression that a "TROOP" has eight armoured vehicles) this is instead of riding around on their horses.
He's a great young character, full of beans, just like a lot of young blokes who like a drink or two and the girlies as well and enjoy getting up to mischeif, the only difference is he's a "ROYAL" therefor in the public gaze continually.
As far as the danger he'll be facing, I'm sure he will not have his name emblazoned all over his vehicle, nor will he be in the centre of Bahgdad, more deployed around the South of Iraq, where most of the Brit's are stationed.
I'm sure he'll do a great job despite the press saying otherwise, I say good on you "H", keep your head down mate.
