You can put me right on this Jason, but he got rammed and sunk, then saved one guy.
All eleven of his crew survived and the citation credits Kennedy for that fact. As commander of his boat, he is responsible for all the lives on it so the citation would be correct even if some of them were uninjured. That one guy he saved he pulled with his teeth while swimming. That's extraordinary effort and particularly so since Kennedy himself was injured in the sinking.
I'm not a fan of the Kennedys in general but I will give credit where it is due and I'm not going to split hairs about how heroic one or another person was.
Yes, British monarchs and royals have fought in war for over 2,000 years and I think that's right as ultimately they become Commanders-in-Chief of the armed forces. They should have some experience in the military.
What I find questionable was that the Queen apparently commanded him to go and fight. That's the monarch using her power as C-in-C to override what appears to have been the decision of the UK's military commanders to keep Harry home for the safety of his unit. I have no problem with him fighting and I truly believe he wanted to go. I'm not questioning his patriotism. I am questioning the Queen stepping into the fray to further the ends of the monarchy. From my perspective, as an American, that's an abuse of power however, as all the military forces technically belong to the Queen, I can't argue with it. How you run things on your island is up to you.
