If Canadians want this "Royal" illusion then I will fight for their right to believe it, I am just glad none of those Royal dim wits actually order us or lead us into battle.
I will now prepare myself to be flamed.
I would point out, sir, that Prince Harry - one of those 'royal dimwits' - may well presently be leading his armoured troop in battle in the Basra region with the Blues and Royals. Prince Phillip served in the Second World War in the navy. Prince Andrew served in the Falklands and decoyed Exocets. I'm sure I've missed a few others.
Might I suggest that insulting them as you did is akin to insulting any competent officer, sir? It reflects poorly only upon yourself when you attack officers with some rather impressive service records. Though they may serve in the forces of another nation, perhaps the term 'superior' officer may not be inappropriate given the circumstances. Moreover, to blatantly attack the integrity of the oath oneself has sworn cannot help but to cast you in a poor light. Would you tell your troops that the oath they swore is bunk, sir?
