“I see it as a command issue”
In this I agree, and if I made it seem as if it was Harry’s responsibility alone, my bad.
I see in old school terms in that when you serve, you serve.
Someone that is of special interest for the enemy would serve to inspire a cohesive fighting attitude, not a specialized retreat.
“forgot the screen name - my bad”
That would be me.
I’ve served in the USCG from 1970-75, and now as a contractor.
In a small FOB with ANA present, I’m as much, or more, at risk than most in Afghanistan. This is a very active spot.
No weapons for personal defense, at least Rambo was able to shoot back....when he commandeered weapons.
These are just the facts.
I did look up your screen name later, and pinged you because I was talking about you.
For a HVT like a British Prince, I can see him being assigned a wingman to cover his flying butt - but not a refusal to allow him to fly when the SHTF that makes him a stationary target.
I was an Army officer during Desert Storm, myself.
Thank you for your service, FRiend.
