My original point was that many think Charles has only the one Heir, the 'spare' being the dog in the manger.
If this is the case I think the Afghan rebels may be the least of his worries.
(I like the 'spare' idea)

Don't forget Prince Andrew was in the front line as a helicopter pilot during the Falklands conflict when he was 2nd in line to the throne.

Uh Huh... so are you saying he DID get through on his name alone, or is that just idle baseless speculation?
The british royal family have a long history of service in the forces.. In fact it was always a tradition in the british aristocracy in general.
Funny.. everyone ridicules Bush for using his connections to AVOID combat, and then you caste aspersions on someone by saying they may have used their influence to get INTO the forces and into harms way...
I know which one I have more respect for.

In case you needed to know what he did here you go....
BIG EARS
He was in a mine sweeper! Oh my aching sides!!!
They are ceremonial medals - he would have a hard time getting medals for gallantry without a war. Fortunately for him Britain was at peace during his time in the navy.

The British Military is to proud to allow a Royal to slip in without working the same as everybody else.

Defence Secretary John Reid has said Prince Harry should be treated "like any other member of the British armed forces" when he finishes his military training.
Mr Reid was speaking after reports that Harry had threatened to quit the Army if he was blocked from active service because of safety fears.
Mr Reid said that the media spotlight might be one reason for the 21-year-old not to go to the front line.
He told the BBC: "In so far as is humanly possible, I believe that the young prince should be treated like any other member of the British armed forces. Source: Treat Harry the same as other soldiers
