      I haven’t heard of any such exemptions, but I guess it will be really tested only if we have to go to war. It has been almost 80 years since the last time.

      I think it’s interesting that Prince Harry was allowed to serve on the front lines in Afghanistan. Granted, he was a volunteer and not a conscript, but the fact that the queen even allowed it was surprising. When I heard he was joining up, I expected that he would be in some cushy back office, away from the fighting.
