Prince Harry prepares to possibly do what the pResident nor his spawn did not.

Prince Harry says he won't sit out Iraq

LONDON - He's a freckle-faced royal rascal who has led a life of privilege. But Britain's Prince Harry is also an army officer — and he could soon be heading to Iraq to face the reality of combat.

...

When Harry, 22, left Sandhurst Military Academy last year, he became a second lieutenant and joined the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry. At the time, the defense ministry said he could possibly be deployed to Iraq, but that there might be situations when the presence of a member of the royal family could increase the risk for his comrades.

Harry himself was having none of it.

"There's no way I'm going to put myself through Sandhurst, and then sit on my arse back home while my boys are out fighting for their country," he said in a television interview to mark his 21st birthday.

1. Harry may be a twit, but he's got bigger balls than the Chimp

n/t.

3. The rumour is William will go there

However, since by that time being in the Army in Northern Ireland won't be different from being in the Army in Scotland, England or Wales, it would be more of a "get him to see the country" move.

4. William, even though he's a commissioned officer

isn't allowed to go yet. He's going to the RAF and the Royal Navy to "prepare him for his future role". Harry is a career officer while William isn't.

5. Oh, please

All that Prince Harry does, is put a big target on his comrades' backs. and why the praise for the twit? All he's doing is engaging in an immoral and illegal war for his own ego.

6. Tinfoil hat alert here.... Scenario, Prince Harry loses his life, creating a martyr and

getting the people of the UK behind this war once again.

7. He's just another inbred halfwit

He'll do whatever he's told. After all, he's not being groomed for the Big Job - his lunatic father and his more photogenic brother come first.

If he goes, he might well be the only British soldier over there who actually believes he's "fighting for his country" - or at least for his grandmother.
