Well that didn't last long did it, it is said he doesn't want to be separated from his wife and forthcoming child.

/// William has said that he wants to be a 'hands on' father and will not take a job that requires him to be away from his young family. ///

I wonder how all those other 'full time' armed force personnel, who also have wives and families, feel when they regularly carry out six month tours of active duty, not in nearby peaceful Anglesey, but in far off dangerous Afghanistan?

Baldric........LOL

That will teach me not to meander into News without an invitation.....
By rescuing people in distress on the seas around Wales he has done far more to make Britain a safer place that if he'd spent his time in Apaches shooting tribesmen in Afghanistan!
I do not think its about being separated from his wife and forthcoming baby. Its because he is Royal and next in line. It was never going to be a long term career. He must take on Royal duties and be part of 'the firm'.
Never heard AQ referred to as 'tribesmen' before, jtp.

You learn something new every day.....

That is not offensive at all, so can you hands on heart say that that is exactly what you put, if you can then I think you have a perfectly legitimate reason to ask the AB Editor why it was removed.

Any other ABer who saw what was put, care to vouch support for that fact?

I didn't realise there were any AQ left in Afghanistan Chill Doubt

- you do indeed!

If all those Soldiers and Airmen in Afghanistan were actually making the UK a safer place they wouldn't be pulling them out would they?

That is the job of the Army Air Corps to which Prince Harry is serving, the RAF mainly fly Chinook transport and troop carrying helicopters in Afghanistan.
And?
I believe Chill has already backed me up on this AOG - if wish to continue to doubt me that is of course your perogative - hopefully ummmm and bednobs will also see this and vouch for what I said as they put me right!
Thats my recollection of your post too, FGT.
Thank you Lazygun.

Well I now truly accept that, perhaps the rest of the ABers who also saw it should now ask why it was pulled, then perhaps you will get an answer?
Perhaps it was thought to be argumentative - but I was actually only asking a question.

At the end of the day the Ed and the mods run this site and I will abide by their rules.
all that money wasted to train him,,,,,,,,,,,, just so he can shake hands and cut ribbons.... hands on dad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was working away when my first child was born, I also gave up my job and took a local job to be there for my family.
they dont intend to have nannies,? oh please :0
Do ou know different Anne?
AOG

How long has Prince William been in the RAF, and how long do you think he should stay in the service?
FGT's post was exactly that aog. I guess it was pulled becauseit wasn't an answer to the q and this is a "serious" topic. Maybe someone reported it.

Why should anyone report it if it was not breaking any rules?

Seems strange that I got an apology from FGT, when it was not a personal attack on myself.
