POSTED RESPONSES TO A COLUMN IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
I'm glad Prince Harry has done one worthwhile thing in his
life in speaking up for a bullied soldier in his unit in Alberta.
It's nice for change.
Prince Harry has a long record of thoughtless and graceless
and even nasty behavior.

I happen to believe Harry got the worst part of his mother's
genes, the late Princess being attractive and charming in public but privately
suffering from serious mental conditions, something of which her family has a
history.

"We knew Harry
had been in Afghanistan, but he was made to go to Alberta, too? Is there a
reason why he is being punished?"
Harry was not made to go to Afghanistan.
He insisted, to the point of threatening to resign his
commission, on being sent there for some "action." All quite shameful
actually.
The high command had decided that it was too risky to send
him when he asked, but after his whining and threatening to quit his commission,
he was sent for one brief tour which was mainly an extended photo-op of the
Prince and the machine gun, something which might just as well have been done
on a sound stage.
He insisted and was sent again, managing to kill someone and
spent a good deal of time back home bragging about it.
This is a bored, not-too-bright young man with an apparent
thirst for brutality.
