I never thought they would let him go, but it looks like he'll be deployed this spring.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/...n2502498.shtml

It is pretty noble of him wanting to serve, but in the grand scheme of things it is a bit foolish. Wouldn't insurgents just want to capture the Prince and get a ton of leverage?

I thought they recently decided to withdraw from Iraq?

Indeed, makes perfect sense. Send him there for a bit of publicity and then make the grand withdrawal before he can get his ugly mug blown off.

Actually, that would make for a publicity suicide.

Respect to Harry for sticking to this, but I have a bad feeling about this. It means that the UK will stay in Iraq for atleast the length of Harry's tour.
Atleast they're not invading Iran.

I doubt they'll expose him to live combat. Maybe it'll make the guy grow up a little.

Of course he's never going to go anywhere near anything actually dangerous. Even if he does get to go within twenty miles of a danger zone, it'll be at the heart of a damn regiment.

Why? Prince Andrew (then second in line to the throne) was a helicopter pilot during the falklands war and was in the thick of action. Southern Iraq is 'quieter than Baghdad but still dangerous.
