Hokay, first of all read this. Then, if you need Sandhurst explaining, click this. Finally, answer the poll question.

YES! It was a extremely poor choice for a costume...

[Taristin]

I voted no. But that's because I think that they should stick him in there, and be extra hard on him.

But that's mainly because he's royalty, and I resent the power and 'influence' he has, simply because he was born to that family.

I don't particularly see what the bg deal is with his little stint. It was a friend's birthday party, right? Not like it was a charity ball for a local jewish group.

I mean, I don't condone nazi-ism, or neo-nazi-ism, or anything of the sort, but, so he did something stupid, how many of us haven't done something stupid? Just he has papparazzi following him about all the time, because we all care so much about what celebrities do.

[Janos]

**** I answered wrong.

I meant to voice my support.

[diamondgeezer]

Oh normally I wouldn't give a ****, but as an officer-to-be myself I take a particular interest in this case

****in hell boys. He's just a normal youth who wore a ****e outfit for a party.

[mitac]

Seriously, I don't care. I'm used to people from Britain having a rather odd picture of my country.

Article on the British view of Germany.

Again, Vyp, it's not that the guy did it, it's whether or not such conduct is acceptable in an officer applicant

Yeah well to be honest your country did try to ass rape us twice. And we won. Twice. So... y'know...

Edit: As a side note, forgiving is one thing but I think taking the approach of just forgetting it all happened is rather dangerous.

Lets be honest, surely you've done some immature stuff and perhaps things to question your.... gentlemanliness in your youth? Should you still be an officer?

[Ghostavo]

No... it's not like it is breaking the law to wear a nazi uniform at a party, just a bad choice for a costume... and he did apologise.

Now about the cannabis and under-aged drinking...

Yeah, well, had he not been a celeb, would anyone even know he did it?

Thank god you won. I don't want to imagine the alternative. It was bad enough, as it was.

Neither is forgetting an alternative that won't happen in a while, anyway. It's just these annoying stereotypes, you know - hearing them all over again and again and again just sucks.

On a side note, you would be breaking laws over here - by wearing Nazi insignia.

[Edited to clarifiy]

[vyper]

Yeah but he's a student ain't he? Drugs laws + students = stoner.

How serious is such an offense?

[pyro-manic]

Couldn't give a toss, to be honest. It was a crap costume, but he knows that. It has no bearing on his suitability for commission.

What does have a bearing, however, is his qualifications. Didn't he get like two "D"s for A-levels and nothing else? I thought officers were supposed to be clever....

[mitac]

Ghostavo : basically, §86a of the German penal law says that people wearing insignia of organisations that contradict or deny the constitution (i.e. Nazis) can be sentenced to prison for at most three years and/or a fine. Though it's open to the judges to abandon the sentence in cases of minor guilt, where Harry's escapade would fit in.

[Fineus]

Personally speaking, I like him. He seems like a healthy, well adjusted 20 year old boy... at least considering his background.

So hes done drugs? Big deal. Got in fights? Some kids half his age have commited rapes and stabbings - so again - big deal.

His attitude - as a rule - seems to be that he really wants to be left alone and for the rest of the country to stop judging him. Bit of a pity considering he's a royal and that he's going to be judged for the rest of his life.

But making him apologise because he hurt some peoples feelings? God we live in a petty little country.

[Taristin]

World. We live in a petty world.

Like I said, if he wasn't royalty (therefore a celeb) would anyone even care? Honestly?
