This kid can’t win….it’s insane…he parties too much and he’s wasting his potential…he wants to join the army to fight for his country and they won’t let him fight because of the security risk to him and his fellow fighters. They finally let him fight and it goes really well for several months then some idiot (that’s right) writes an article and now he has to come home. It’s the same as if they were asking him to leave William behind those are his brothers and he is having to leave them behind. If something happens to them now is it his fault? The war’s fault? The idiot reporter’s fault? Either way how does he live with that?

If I were him (and William too) I’d go to the first best buy, get me an X-box 360° (yes I’m incorporating the show here) buy all these video games and let that be my life since that’s all that people seem to want him to do.

Gabe,

I cannot believe Drudge, or any other source, would put so many lives in danger for the sake of “breaking the news”.

Prince Harry did not want to be a prince at this point in his life. He wanted to stand up for his country, be an average young man and face the dangers that many of his peers were facing. I have great admiration for him. Not everyone takes the easy way out. I’ve always heard that military service would make you, or break you. Harry is not broken.

The men and women who want to come home and can’t? I’m not going to make a campaign or a political statement here but, I do hope everyone gives this election the attention that it demands. We need to bring our troops home as safely as possible and as soon as possible. This will require much consideration and understanding.

We need to pull together, and get this war finished. Oh, that’s right. We have three of them now. That is correct is it not?

What happened wasn’t Prince Harry’s fault. I’m sure he’d rather stay and fulfill his duty, but fair or not, he has no choice but to leave Afghanistan.

You’re right, our troops are princes and princesses, kings and queens…of our hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are always with them.

Whether you are born a prince or a pauper, all life is precious regardless of nationality, religion or colour.

Its just a pity so much life is lost through conflict and violence.

They have no choice but to pull Harry out even against his wishes. He would be a sitting duck there. I hope they get him out today. Any more time there is too dangerous.

Unfortunately our men and women can’t come home also. I’m sure they’d love to see their families but they know they are doing a great thing. I wish more reports could be done about them in Afghanistan, Iraq or any where else they are at. It seems that they have been left behind so to speak for too long! Maybe that will change.

Gabriel, thank you for putting this post out. All I have heard is about how important Harry’s life is, while people forget that all of these men are heroes to US inhabitants. It has become a status show, focusing on Harry. We need to get back to the truth. All of our soldiers are brave fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and most important, our best friends who fight for us here.

Just let Matt Drudge know where their exact location is, he’ll report it and our troops will be home one way or another.

Kudos to Prince Harry for serving in Afghanistan and shame on the Drudge Report and media outlets that broke the story. I saw the report on AC360 last night and was very impressed with Harry. Here we have a member of the royal family who had the courage to go to the front lines and serve his country along side his fellow Brits. It is an inspiring story and one that the Brits can be extremely proud of. Maybe
his outing will again focus some of the US news reporting on Afghanistan, the real war on terrorism. CNN does a good job with Nic Roberts and Michael Weir when they report on Afghanistan, but other news outlets seem to have forgotten about the Taliban and why US troops are there fighting them.

Why is he still there? So many other kids are in danger. Shame on whoever put his whereabouts on Internet.
Congratulation to Prince Harry. He is really brave young man.

all these people saying he’s a sitting duck, when they are in the middle of it, when it’s all camo and gun fire, can they really tell which one is Harry?!

Marcy

I say good for Harry for enlisting and going to the front lines!
He is his Mother’s son alright!
I love Harry!

you’re right marcy, it would be almost impossible to tell, but unfortunately the men fighting them could care less, they would most likely target his “whereabouts” and put even heavier fire on all of his comrades. its all or nothing there.

Good Evening Mr Falcon:

I would like, if I may, to share my feelings on this issue.

And please correct me if I’m wrong but it sounds like you may have a problem with Royal family members serving their country in active duty? If so, I don’t understand that either? As Prince Andrew served his country as did his Father albeit times then were very different and Terrorists were not waiting to pounce on them at every opportunity.

And as I see it, Prince Harry was eager to serve his country, eager to put his training to the test, eager to be a part of the noble sacrafice.

And as I see it, he’d still be a part and would be still fulfilling his dream if it weren’t for the Media outing his where abouts and in turn putting his life and those of his comrades on the Terrorists’ radar!
Prince Harry has his mother’s compassion and her unselfish zeal to aid all in need and bring comfort. to the sick and less fortunate

I feel this incident was irresponsible reporting which jepodized the lives of brave soldiers fighting for their Nation’s Freedom. And I see that as thwarted priorities and shameful selfish behaviour on the part of the media that was responsible for putting this story front and center around the world.

It’s not as if they weren’t aware that their actions would jepardize Prince Harry and his comrades. So I’d have to assume their priority was getting the story and the rewards it may bring them.

And that makes me wonder how great are the incentives and awards in the media business that a story is worth more to a reporter than the life of one or the lives of many? The one and the many who are putting their lives on the line for that very reporter and their nation’s people each and every day thus giving them and us the freedom to report and delve into the headlines for our amusement and our need to know addiction.

This incident really makes me wonder about our sense of values in life.

And we too are a country of Princesses, Kings and Queens and THEY TOO ARE SERVING OUR COUNTRY Right now as well.

Americans are NOT THE ONLY ones serving in this war! But it does seem that your MEDIA tends to think so.

Canada and many other NATO Nations including Britain have thousands of military in Iraq and Afghanistan. They too are putting their lives on the line each and every day for our Security and Freedom. Thanks to President Bush’s no thought, jump first, plan later, rush to war.

I HONOR THEM ALL from all NATIONS. And have undying gratitude for them all. They are all Heroes. No matter what Nation they are serving.
AND PRINCE HARRY IS NO EXCEPTION. and does not deserve to be ridiculed and spat on by the Media, Reporters, or Citizens.

He too is a son and grandson. And as a Royal he could have shirked his desire to serve. But he choose to do so, It was his desire to do so even against the Royal’s disapproval.

NOT SO FOR President Bush….He a President’s Son, choose to go AWOL and have his Father rescue him from the charges that other ordinary Joe’s would have befallen. Isn’t that bizzare! And the same George is the guy that rushed off to war and expected His Nation and ALL NATO Nations and their military and their equipment and dollars to bend to his will and dole out their dollars to support his ill conceived premise that turned into a seven year devastation that is still in Progress !

Yes, Prince Harry deserves PRAISE, CREDIT, and RESPECT.
