Yeah, yeah, yeah. We’ve heard all this before.
We all know that it’s not possible for royals to go to actually go to war. I mean, it’s not that royals don’t visit combat zones. GWB, Shrillary, McCain… they’ve all visited Iraq, but you’ve got to know they were the most-well-protected-butts-in-the-history-of-the-world.
I actually happen to love the Harry Goes to War story. But when my dad fought Germans in WWII and earned a Silver and two Bronze Stars, the only guys he had watching his back were guys just like him… everyday American boys who only went to war because bad guys were making war on innocents abroad.
You know what? The Great Untold Story about Harry isn’t about the security detail that accompanied him or the photo ops that most likely humiliated him. I wouldn’t want to be royalty and have to live like that.
I think the untold story is that a royal had to go through basic training and test himself. Plus, he really did get the chance to bunk down with the common folk who’ve always protected the world.
It’s from this common class that the true saviors often arise. If not for Churchill, the Brits wouldn’t be speaking German today, but Berlin might still be radioactive.
