Pr William must do more than join British soldiers in field combat exercises to be credible. As a tax paid officer, he must go to the Ukraine front first

 Prince William has joined live firing training with the Welsh Guards, wearing his combat uniform and beret to see how soldiers are preparing for duty in the Field Army.

That is not good enough.

Williams has to go to the Ukraine and fight in the trenches at the front for him to have credibility as a military leader. He cannot afford to be seen to be a member of the British army shirking his turn at the front. That will make him look like a coward.

He should recall the backlash against his relative, Emperor Wilhelm II, for refusing to send his sons to fight in the German army in WWI. 

The public in 2024 will want to see WEF elite William, a tax payer paid RAF pilot, serving at the front in the first wave.

He must be seen to be willing to go first to the Ukraine and to the very front.
