Prince Harry Fighting in Afghanistan

I'm impressed to hear that Prince Harry is fighting in Afghanistan.

Where's our little pampered poodle, the son of the Gandhi clan? He's not to be seen anywhere in the absence of his bodyguards, let alone on a warfront. The only shots he's taking are by posing for camera-men.

Here's a piece from the BBC:

Check out the videos from the sidebar.

Here's some pictures, including a couple of him fraternizing with the Gurkhas:

Now that the news has been leaked, his presence may increase the risk for his fellow troops, so he'd likely be taken back home. But still, the effort was laudable, in contrast to our own VIP brats and their soft hands.

Take it easy. Harry isn't "fighting" in Afghanistan. He isn't protecting anyone. He has a huge security team protecting him and all his butlers must be in Afghanistan too.

Look at this photo here -- http://i.l.cnn.net/cnn/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/02/28/prince.afghanistan/art.prince.harry.02.ap.jpg

No real soldier will be dressed in such a shabby manner. They'd be kicked out immediately.

Look at photos #2 and #3 in http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/7269841.stm . If he was a real soldier, he would have first had a haircut. That ain't no soldier cut.

They're setting him up so that they can claim how brave he was in fighting the Taliban. Rality check - Taliban is no longer in power in Afghanistan. They fled the scene when the Northern Alliance came in with the support of American airpower.

They'll give him a medal when he gets back. The whole thing is a sham.
