Royal Wedding

This about sums up my thoughts:

Some of the memes are hilarious. And I'm a Brit.

Personally, I think Harry's a good lad. Two-tour vet of Afghanistan as a JTAC.

He got a thumbs up from me when I saw this:

That is one thing you have to give the royal family, they serve their country in a military sense. Being a child of the 80’s, the Falklands and Prince Andrew comes to mind.

IIRC Prince Harry had a bounty on his head by Al-Qaeda while in theater.

He looks just like his dad.

I agree - it's not Harry or William's fault that they were born into privilege; but they've seemed to make good efforts to follow in the footsteps of their mother and serve the country.

I was stationed in the UK when Lady Di/Prince Charles got married. Didn't really care about that one either.

I told one of my shooting buddies I was going to have to cancel on the Sat. 3gun because I was going to watch the wedding...wanted to see who was wearing what. He called me a fag. My feelings were hurt. The whole episode was so un-PC.

I refuse to follow anything related to the "royals" because their riches is just money stolen from the people over hundreds of years.

I don't refuse to follow them, I just don't bother. They are one of a hundred stories every day that are totally irrelevant to anything that goes on in the USA, or even the rest of the world. In fact, they're pretty much irrelevant even to the UK. I understand the monarchy as a historical figurehead. I certainly don't understand the fascination that so many Americans have for it. IIRC, we fought a war at one point in US history to throw off their influence in America.

Harry...I can admire. My impression is that he would be more comfortable in the cockpit of an Apache helicopter flying over Afghanistan than home with his feet up at Windsor Castle.
