It was the subject of a news blackout... until it was leaked on Drudge. Nice one.

He's been there for last 10 weeks.

And where exactly are the Bush twins passed out drunk at the moment?
Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

He's just any other soldier, as far as I'm concerned.  No need to put him and his fellow soldiers at risk from some Taliban/Al Qaeda mission to make a point.  Freakin' sensationalist bastages.

Even worse, I think it's more than a bit disrespectful of all the "no-names" who serve everyday without getting recognition.

Bah. Slow news day I guess.

I agree Kamilyun. I'm sure Harry agrees too.

I wish him all the best.  I've heard terrible stories from friends who have done a tour of afghan.

I still can't resist this though

After seeing him as a soldier instead of a spoiled brat, my image of him improved considerably.

I've never had an image of him as a spoiled brat, maybe a young lad who has been harrassed 1/2 his life about his dead mother, but in no way did I see spoiled brat.

there is no way this should have been reported:furious

It puts the prince and his fellow soldiers in more jeopardy.

It shows the prince has guts though :aok

today the BBC ran a interview with Prince Harry at the fromt line.


This tour of duty has changed him in my opinion,he appears to have grown up and treating him normaly seems to have worked better for him.

Why does that matter?  Are you saying the Bush twins are going to inherit a kingdom or something?  That would be interesting.

It wouldn't be that strange.

Lets see it's been Bush, Clinton , Bush and soon to be Clinton again. :D Logically, it'll be a Bush's turn to be president again.

It comes from when one of the princes (can't remember which) went to a haloween party dressed as an SS officer.  Seems harmless enough to me but of course the media and weak of spirit busybodies freaked out.  Demanded apologies, damn near demanded he be hung.

It looked like a good historical costume to me, but some people need things to complain about I guess.
