Apologies to you all, I’ve been extremally behind with the news that Prince Harry (the youngest of Prince Charles and the late Diana, Princess of Wales’s two sons) had been fighting in Afghanistan for ten weeks before information of his whereabouts were leaked on the internet.
The Ministry of Defence asked the media to keep a news blackout about what he was doing until he finished his active service, however, when the news was revealed, they had no choice but to tell the typically- gullible British public.
To be honest I seriously didn’t think he would get the chance to go on the frontline, let alone go to the country, so I was shocked when I heard the news. Because of the potential risks to both himself and the other soldiers around him, the Army felt he had to be withdrawn from active duty.
I cannot understand why the prince wanted to fight in the first place. In doing so, he’s now become a genuine terrorist target. Every religious nutcase on the planet will be out to get him…. just to prove the point that going to war in the Middle East has become both a political and military disaster for both the US and British governments
At least he got to go home early…. the rest of the soldiers there may never get that chance.
