FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Last year, a four-man Walking With The Wounded team skied the 200 nautical
miles to the North Pole in thirteen days. The trip attracted much press
interest due to the involvement of the charity’s Patron, Prince
Harry, who is also supporting the Everest climb.
“I’ve met Prince Harry quite a few times,” says 25-year-old Jaco Van Gass,
another expedition member and former soldier in the Parachute Regiment. “I
was part of the North Pole team and he joined us on the ice for four or five
days.”
In 2009, Jaco lost his arm when he was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade in
Afghanistan. This means that the intensive rock climbing and
crevasse-crossing that Everest demands will purely come down to “a matter of
stability and balance” for him, as well as for Martin.
Support from Prince Harry means a great deal, not only because he is a member
of the Royal
family but because he is an army officer and of similar age to the team.
Jaco recalls his familiarity with the Prince on their previous expedition to
the North Pole: “It was quite annoying how good he was because he hadn’t
even done a third of the training we had. We were hoping he would actually
struggle a bit, but there was no sign of struggle.”
Martin also speaks of the Prince as if he were just a regular army officer.
“As a team member and as a friend he is great banter, he gets it. He’s got a
role as a patron obviously, but he is also very much one of the team, one of
the boys.”
Prince Harry, who saw the team off this week, has said the courage of the
expedition team in attempting to scale Everest, “a name to instil fear in
the hearts of seasoned mountaineers”, “defies words”. The Walking With The
Wounded team will no doubt remember his support as they embark on their
uphill journey to the top of the world.
Jaco wants supporters to recognise that this isn’t just about the physical
challenge but about raising awareness of the problems wounded servicemen and
women face in coming to terms with their injuries. “Every soldier that dies
makes headline news, but no one really knows or hears about any of the
casualties, the guys getting severely wounded or suffering life-changing
injuries. We hope to inspire them, to show them that after injury life does
carry on.”
