 Should Prince Harry even be in the army? - MSNBC TV - MSNBC.com
Several months ago, soon after it was announced that the prince’s unit was scheduled for deployment to Iraq, insurgent groups – both Sunni and Shi’a – threatened to kidnap (some threaten to mutilate) the young royal.  Harry, to his credit, insisted that he be allowed to serve as any other British officer.
Given the threats made specifically against the prince and the risk that his presence would be disruptive to the British units in Iraq, removing Prince Harry from the deployment roster was the only decision the Ministry of Defense could make.
I applaud the prince for wanting to serve, for insisting that he deploy to a combat zone, that he be treated as any other British officer.  The reality is that he is will never be – maybe “cannot be” is a better phrase – treated like any other officer.
