If you think Harry needs a haircut, I'd advise you to stay away from Bastion as you'll have a fit. That photo was taken at BZ upon his return from an operational tour.
Longer hair is a fact of life out at Bastion & it is not frowned upon, bigger things to worry about out there. I suspect you have not visited the place.
In reference to the wearing of bands in the long term, who gives a sh*t about what people will think in a few years time? It is now that matters & it would appear that the majority of serving personnel want to wear them. Perhaps the PC wagon should be dropped & H4H, along with other military charities, wristbands allowed at work.
Mr C Hinecap,
you are well out of order telling people to 'f**king man up' and stop wearing them. Get your arse out to Bastion & say that to 2 Para. Most of them are wearing them for a very good reason...
