"Prince Harry's regiment is to be sent to Iraq for a six-month tour of duty, defence officials have confirmed. Harry would carry out 'a normal troop commander's role' serving with his Blues and Royals regiment, they said. The prince was praised by Prime Minister Tony Blair as a 'brave and determined young man' with 'a very special character'. He will be the first senior royal to serve on the front line since Prince Andrew in the Falklands in 1982." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6383747.stm
In what kind of combat role will Prince Harry participate? Will he sit protected in headquarters in Basra, where the British control?
"This will involve 'leading a troop of 12 men in four Scimitar armoured reconnaissance vehicles, each with a crew of three' from the regiment's 'A squadron', a joint statement from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Clarence House said. 'The decision to deploy him has been a military one, made by Chief of General Staff, Gen Sir Richard Dannatt, in conjunction with Cornet Wales' commanding officer', it added."
"The Royal household has been consulted throughout."
Since World War I was initiated when an Archduke was assassinated, we wonder why the Royal household of Prince Charles is sending his younger son into such a dangerous situation. The Iraqi insurgency would love to capture Prince Harry, for propaganda purposes.
The fact of the matter is that Prince Harry will be serving in a very dangerous role.
"Prince Harry graduated from Sandhurst in April last year and qualified as an armoured reconnaissance troop leader in October. His rank of Cornet is used by a small number of cavalry units including the Blues and Royals and is the equivalent of the more usual rank of 2nd Lieutenant. Known to colleagues as Troop Commander Wales, he is able to lead reconnaissance units known as the Army's 'eyes and ears'."
This explanation sounds like Harry is serving in a forward recon regiment, and that is very dangerous duty. Forward recon units operate very close to enemy lines, or behind enemy lines, and always in small numbers. If a special forces enemy group ever located the area in which Prince Harry is operating, they could rather easily set up an ambush for his unit.
And, what would happen if they tortured young Harry, maybe severely? What would happen if, at the end of the torture, they beheaded the young officer, and captured the execution on video tape? Wars have begun with the murder of the monarchy!
