The Sun Online has this report on the possibility of Prince Harry being deployed to Iraq:

PRINCE Harry's lover Chelsy Davy is to travel the world after telling pals: "Haz is off to war."

Her remark is the strongest hint yet that the 22-year-old Royal WILL see action in Iraq.

Chelsy, 21, hopes her trip will keep her mind off her fears while cavalryman Harry joins comrades for a dangerous tour of duty.

There are two interesting angles to this article. First: Prince Harry going to war in a combat zone filled with terrorists who have no qualms about using suicide bombers to attack Iraqi and Coalition Forces. What will happen, if Prince harry is deployed, is that he will act as a magnate, attracting regular attacks, especially the aforementioned suicide bombers. This will increase the likelihood that large numbers of his comrades in arms will be killed or wounded at what would be an abnormally high rate. Especially since it is being broadcasted far and wide that the Royal may end up in their sights. Not good.

A sub-angle to this is the frequent calls here in the U.S. by such "brilliant" people as Matt Damon, who recently called for, among other things, sending President Bush's daughters to Iraq as part of a military deployment. Of course Matt Damon has still not enlisted into the Army and volunteered for service in Iraq. many other Moonbats on the left have used the same argument: send the Bush daughters to war in Iraq.

The possibility of Prince Harry going to war adds a sharp counter-point to the demand that the children of our leaders should serve in Iraq. Their doing so, whether it is the British Royals or our own Presidential offspring, will garner unwanted attention on their units by the bad guys still operating over in Iraq. The number of attacks would escalate, with a focus on units that contain such high profile targets, and the casualty rate for those units would be far higher.

The second angle of interest on this article is that Prince Harry's girlfriend feels the need to go travelling while he is off in Iraq (assuming he is deployed) as being the only means by which she can cope with his being in harm's way on a daily basis during his (proposed) tour of duty. Must be nice to be able to travel to Reno as part of a proposed long term vacation while the person you love is getting shot at by terrorists.

Some girlfriend Prince Harry has. He can do better. And if he is deployed to Iraq, I hope he finds himself someone who is of better character who will put thinking of his safety ahead of her having to get away from it all in order to deal with her fears. I have no doubt that many spouses would like to be able to get away for a long vacation during such a trying time, however, there is a big difference between thinking about it, then biting the bullet and dealing with the reality and going off to have fun for how ever long the deployment lasts.

If Prince Harry is deployed, I wish him and his comrades well. Bottom line though, is if he (or other high profile warriors) is deployed, it should be kept secret for the safety of all who serve.
