Lets be fair, lads, who honestly thought it was going to happen?
General Dannatt has made the right decision - one that should have been made a long time ago, like er, when Harry joined up. As many have said, his military career and any related deployments may have worked had the media treated him like a normal soldier, but, with the thirst for 24hr 'news' ( I use the term very loosely) that certainly was never going to happen.
Maybe Harry will now join his brother in the bizarre military job sharing carousel which has been created for Wills from the MoD's bumper book of alternative postings. Whatever!
In all of this fuss about Harry, spare a thought for the poor blighter who will now be parachuted in at short notice to do his job. I guess the Booze and Royals have a vast pool of Troop Commanders on a high state of readiness.
