Prince Harry serving in Afghanistan
Categories: Celeb kids, In the news
After weeks of secrecy among the British press, the online site The Drudge Report broke the story that Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, had been serving in a dangerous region in Afghanistan since late December.
The younger son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana was denied permission serve in Iraq last year, as it was feared his presence would put him and his unit at risk.
Shortly after the news broke that there was royalty among the opposition, several Islamist websites issued alerts to be on the lookout for this high-profile soldier.
"O brothers of monotheism, if you find anyone with unusual security in his battalion, know that this could be the Prince Harry. We ask God that he gets caught on your hands," one posting read.
The British Defense Ministry said due to the leak, Prince Harry will be immediately pulled from Afghanistan.
"All my wishes have come true," Harry told reporters in last week's camp interview, noting that he had not showered in four days.
"It's very nice to be sort of a normal person for once; I think it's about as normal as I'm going to get," said Harry.

I think it's apalling that the media has so little respect for Harry's safety. By leaking his whereabouts, they put his life at serious risk.

I totally agree with you Jenn. It’s sickening.

i'm pretty proud Prince Harry actually served. personally, i think it should be a requirement for any politician who will be in a position to make a decision about war. yes...i know there needs to be exceptions, but those are the exceptions, not the rule.
i also think it should be required in order to get citizenship, but that's a different thread.

I suggest: who ever blew the whistle on Prince Harry's stay with the troops in Afghanistan AND the publisher(s) of the 'stupid' storey should be drafted and send to Afghanistan for 12 months.
