You think the acheivements on Princes William and Harry as front line helo pilots don't count as real jobs? They weren't given their wings because of who they are, the earnt them, same as everyone else has to. They have both distinguished themselves in ops. I know it doesn't suit your argument to acknowledge these facts, but statements like yours do nothing for the credability of your post - whatever the point of it was. To be honest, I lost interest in it after that rather obvious vitriol. Sorry.

Thank you for that, Gen. Lots of people here clearly did not understand that and obviously need to; not that it it's likely to make their ignorant rants any better infomed, but that's fine.
