Prince Harry NOT to be deployed to Iraq.

Right choie to not deploy him to Iraq, but it begs the question as an Army Soldier would he be fit in any conflict, surely in any conflict he'd be targetted more than most. So should he be in the army if he probably can't serve?

I want to say yes, but I'm not sure. After this ordeal, it might make somebody like Prince Harry a special target, even in a normal war/combat situation.

VIPs almost always have gotten safer assignments in military worldwide. In a case like this one, where you are better off hiding your VIP, I can totally understand that decision.

Uh-oh, sorry YSSMAN, got confused with names for some reason:tup:

I think an even greater fear for the UK government is not Prince Harry's death from an RPG attack or bomb, but the possibility of capture.

Imagine the propaganda value that would have and it's easy to see why they made this decision. To me, it seems the risks FAR outweigh any possible gains.

Prince Harry's death from an RPG attack

A 9th-Level chaotic-evil Wizard spell like 'Wail Of The Banshee' should do the trick...

Now, if the media didn't go crazy about this and somehow Harry got out there without the insurgents knowing, there would be no bullets for him specifically.

As said, Prince Harry can't just disappear for 6 months. The media follow him even while he is in the Army.

The Argentines were at least fighting us with contemporary weapons (that we'd sold them 8 years earlier). All it would have taken was a single British-made Exocet.

How many ships have Al Qaida sunk in the Gulf? They didn't even sink the U.S.S. Cole, and that was docked and mostly uncrewed.

Weren't the exocets made and sold by the French?

Oooh. Or perhaps "flaming Scimitar".

Or they could just make him magically appear by "summoning some Wales".


*That would have been much funnier if you had been there last time for the whale summoning conjecture.
