Damn! I hope not! I'd rather like to see Harry happy, married and with a couple of legitimate heirs by the time he reaches Albert's age.

think they are expecting rather a lot from someone they probably won't get a chance to see or talk to, unless we are back to the 'Harry is here' flag, as for rebuilding Basra
Yeah, I have to give to agree with you on this one.( Good God, stop the presses ) But, anyhooooo

I just think that he will go the way of Prince Charles & serve but, far away from any real danger.

'Prince Harry kicked out of shop'

Prince Harry was forced to leave a shop empty-handed when staff failed to recognise him.

ITV News - 'Prince Harry kicked out of shop'

Harry snubbed by airbase shop staff

Being third in line to the throne should mean Prince Harry has no problem queuing in shops - but that was not the case when he paid a surprise visit to a US airbase.

What chance have the citizens of Iraq got?

How Prince Harry trained in Norfolk's 'little Basra'

It was not Buckingham Palace or Boujis that Prince Harry visited for a final piece of preparation before his deployment to Iraq. Rather, Cornet Wales, as the 22-year-old Blues and Royals soldier is known, was last week dispatched to a mock "Iraqi" village in the depths of Thetford forest, Norfolk.

Here's an article about "Stanta" and Eastmere (with pics):
http://new.edp24.co.uk/content/Hidde...A35%3A36%3A487

- though I would not have recognized this as "German village"... But then it should look like one in the former GDR.

Harry Expected To Fit Right In In Iraq

Britain's Prince Harry, who is expected to deploy to Iraq later this spring, has begun his Army training.

They are a little behind the times with 'begun his Army training' aren't they?

agreed,The whole article is a bit off (in the head) like Mr. Roth is confused.
Quote:
If his unit is deployed to Iraq, Harry will sleep and eat with the other officers and enlisted men and women assigned to Basra, which is exactly what he's said he wants to do.
What dose he mean I thought that MOD and CH had alresdy enounced that he Unit would be deployed. Thank you Skydragon .

Why are the papers printing an out of date story like it is brand new news?

Prince Harry undergoes Iraq training

Prince Harry is undergoing his last major stint of army training before he and his regiment are deployed to Iraq within a couple of months, the Ministry of Defence said Monday.

Prince on Army exercises

PRINCE Harry is taking part in Army exercises on Salisbury Plain this week as he prepares for his deployment to Iraq.

Lets hope he gets through this phase OK, it is not unknown for some of them to end up with broken bones!
