Prince Harry off to Iraq

It's official, Prince Harry will be sent to Iraq along with his Blues and Royals squad. British officials have already announced that Prince Harry will not be assigned to any duty that will attract attention and pose additional danger to his fellow squad members. To me, that sounds like Prince Harry will be in the command center somewhere and never really expose himself to any danger and see real action.

 Of course it is great propaganda for the royal family to have the third in line to the throne to demonstrate his allegiance to his men. Historically, war heroes became kings and emperors. Alexander, Julius Caesar, just to name a few. Staying within the British history, Richard the Lion Heart was in battle majority of his reign. Looking even in the more recent history, Harry's uncle, Prince Andrew flew battle helicopters in the Faukland War.Â

 I support Prince Harry going to Iraq. It's his duty to be there. The British people and people around the world will see him as a leader, a warrior, and a man worthy of the royal title.Â
