In any case, it’s quite creative. Definitely calls it out and although perhaps the park one is a bit lewd – it’s truth without naughty parts printed. (Click to Enlarge)

Jocko re-typed the print on the ad… I’m feelin’ a little too lazy to do that myself. :-P

LONDON, England (CNN) — Britain’s Prince Harry will not serve in Iraq as a troop commander because of “a number of specific threats” against him, the UK’s top general says.
A spokesperson for the 22-year-old prince says he is “very disappointed” by the decision.

Harry would have led a troop of 12 men in four Scimitar armored reconnaissance vehicles, each with a crew of three, in the southern Iraqi city of Basra.

He is a 2006 graduate of Britain’s prestigious Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and has been actively seeking the posting in Iraq.

I can see both sides of the decision:

  • UK General: Keep the Prince out of harm’s way
  • Prince: Let me command my troops and don’t give me special treatment

Personally I agree with the Prince. Royalty shouldn’t stand in the way if he’s personally decided to be active in the military.
