: Claus chose not to wear a uniform ever again
: because he was drafted as a teenager in the
: service of a regime he despised. He had seen
: some of the horrors of war but did not
: become a complete pacifist as is sometimes
: suggested.
: He decided he did not want to wear a uniform
: anymore and felt it would not sit well with
: those in his new country who suffered from
: the hands of the army he had served in.
: He was happy enough with his oldest son
: serving and wearing his uniforms.

: That is the question regarding Prince
: Daniel: Will he be appointed, per Henrik's
: appointment by his wife/queen, with the rank
: of general/admiral upon his wife's
: succession?
