Prince Harry To Deploy To Iraq

Quote
Prince Harry, the third-in-line to the British throne, will be deployed to Iraq, the Ministry of Defense said Thursday.

His regiment, the Blues and Royals, is expected to deploy to Iraq this spring, and he could become the first royal to see combat since his uncle, Prince Andrew, served in the Falklands war against Argentina in 1982.

Harry -- a second lieutenant -- has expressed his desire to serve alongside his comrades in Iraq, saying that there was "no way" he was going to undergo rigorous training and then stay away from the battlefield. He graduated last year from Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst.

Britain's Ministry of Defense has previously said that Harry could be kept out of situations where his presence could jeopardize his comrades.

I guess they decided not to send him after all. I wonder why? does anyone know? I guess they finally figured out that it is just to dangerous for him out there as he is a target that would be very well known.

It was too dangerous for him and the troops... there were already other plans to either kill or kidnap him circulating in Iraq.

Was anybody obtuse enough to think for one moment that they should send him to Iraq? I believe now he's going to Afghanistan. But it was inevitable that the fervent British media would latch onto the fact that Harry was being sent to Iraq, thus the Ministry of Defense would have to hold him back for safety reasons. I do question whether or not they knew how it was all going to unfold because I myself predicted it would happen just like this many months ago.

You see, when the majority of the British people despise their Government for entering America's fallacious war, people, especially the parents of those killed, would scream to the prime minister, you wouldn't send any of your relatives (Or someone directly associated with the royal family) to war.

This, in my eyes, was to give the Government more time to remain in Iraq for political and monetary gains, as it would appear that the Government truly believes they are fighting a justified war for which, for some absurd reason of thought, can be won.
