See, this is why they still have a Monarchy

Here's something worth noting.

As Michael Moore perhaps over-dramatized in Fahrenheit 9/11, almost no members of Congress have children in the Iraqi War. It's the poor who send their children to fight, not the wealthy.

In Britain, on the other hand, there is a slightly different tradition at play.

Prince Henry of Windsor, called Harry, is going into harm's way. He has insisted there be no special treatment. His assignment is actively hazardous. He is a member of the Royal Cavalry, and he's going to fulfill those obligations.

I'm reminded of the Falklands, when Harry's uncle Prince Andrew went to war.

There is something to be said for a society where the wealthiest, most privileged among them feel an obligation to place themselves in harm's way.

In other news, the Bush Twins have entered week three of their siege on Jaeger.
