*Harry

*'Arry

If he gets anywhere near possible military action I'd be very surprised.

I don't think he will just because his troop will become heavy kidnapping targets

well f me
it IS HENRY

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_harry

i have a feeling that being a member in his troop would be among the safest jobs in the world

Light tanks, eh? Seems a bit random to have recon units in Iraq, but I'd imagine they'd be tied in with some infantry or something.

Perfect.

Diana's life was one of duty and charity. she was one of my heros. Now she's dead.

In honer of his mother, let's send her second born to serve "what"?

....take her precious offspring, slap a "uniform" on him in the name of some kind of duty and tradition and send him off to serve in a ridiculous war.


His mother would be outraged. The Queen needs a bitch slap.

Dear Mum,
In all due respect, please wake up and change the world, if you don't your gonna be sweeping cinders from a fireplace in your next life and there will be no erman robe to keep your cold heart warm.

bitch.

Bullshit. Do you know why he he got into the army? To become disciplined and to stop fuckin up. It has nothing to do with the Iraq War.

lets see, you just got out of diapers?

..... Harry is smoking pot... right.

lets punish him by turning him into another clone in a uniform.

wonder if maybe he has a death wish.

smoke pot and party like a normal young man or become be a puppet for Bush.

something stinks and its you.

lol fart

























*bye

No, he should LEAD his troops into battle! Harry is fourth in line to the crown, right? Anyone ever read Henry V by Shakespeare? It'll be like that! "Once more into the sand dunes, dear friends..."

Besides, it's better than that Nazi uniform he wore to that costume party...

Iraq tank command for Prince Harry
• Britain's Prince Harry to be sent to Iraq with his regiment, officials say
• Young royal expected to be deployed near the southern port of Basra
• Harry to carry out a "normal troop commander's role" according to officials
LONDON, England (CNN) -- Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, is to join troops serving in Iraq, defense officials confirmed Thursday.

Ending weeks of speculation on the young royal's future, the Ministry of Defense said Harry, 22, will be deployed with his Blues and Royals regiment in May or June this year.

The prince will become the first royal to serve in a war zone since his uncle, the Duke of York, piloted helicopters in the Falklands conflict 25 years ago.

Officials said Harry, who graduated as an officer last year, will serve as a troop commander in charge of several light tank reconnaissance vehicles.

British officials have indicated that Harry, 22, could be kept out of situations that could jeopardize his colleagues amid fears he would be a prize target -- or "bullet magnet" -- for insurgents.

But Harry, who graduated last year from Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, has insisted he does not want special treatment.

Clarence House, which speaks on behalf of the prince, and the Ministry of Defense said that the prince would carry out a "normal troop commander's role." (Watch the challenges facing Harry in Iraq)

In a joint statement, they said: "We can confirm today that Prince Harry will deploy to Iraq later this year in command of a troop from 'A Squadron' of the Household Cavalry Regiment.

"Whilst in Iraq Cornet Wales (Harry's regimental title) will carry out a normal troop commander's role, involving leading a troop of 12 men in four Scimitar armored reconnaissance vehicles, each with a crew of three.

"The decision to deploy him has been a military one... The royal household has been consulted throughout."

The statement also warned of the hazards of press speculation on the exact location where he would serve, highlighting the security risks of the deployment.

"This is like President Bush sending a son to the frontline. The decision is both dangerous and courageous at the same time," said Evening Standard royal correspondent Robert Jobson.

"It is a success for Harry but he has become the number one target for insurgents."

Britain's Press Association quoted a regimental source saying Harry was "over the moon" at the news.

Harry has always said he wanted to put his training into practice.

"There is no way I am going to put myself through Sandhurst and then sit on my arse back home while my boys are out fighting for their country," he said on his 21st birthday.

Defense Minister Des Browne outlined that two squadrons from the Household Cavalry Regiment, of which Harry is part, are to be deployed.

Thursday's announcement comes a day after British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced the phased withdrawal of British forces from the country with the withdrawal of 1,600 troops within coming months. (Watch Blair announce withdrawal)

In addition to his uncle, Harry's military service continues a royal family tradition.

His father, Prince Charles, was a pilot with the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. Harry's grandfather, Prince Philip, had a distinguished career in the Royal Navy.

As the second in line to the British crown, Harry's older brother, William -- while also a military officer -- is not eligible for combat service.

Harry's emerging role as a military officer is a major image change from his reputation as a young hellraiser involved in a series of tabloid newspaper misadventures that have caused embarrassment for Britain's royal family.

Both Harry and his brother have spent their youth in the media spotlight despite appeals for privacy following the death of their mother Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997.

My cousin is being sent to Iraq.

Is your cousin a Yank, or is he off to Basra with the rest of the Limeys?
