Prince Harry the Soldier
Over the week news about the Prince Harry’s deployment in Afghanistan has been the talk perhaps all over the world. Everyone might have been surprised to know that this young royalty is actually in a place of combat and is serving as an ordinary soldier. And now that the world has known this secret deployment of the prince to Afghanistan, Prince Harry has been ordered to go back to Britain and is on his way back home this Saturday. The prince stay in Afghanistan was set for 10 weeks and his tour was supposed to end on April. He flew for Afghanistan on December 14, and spent several weeks in Garmsir in Helmand province, operating just 500 metres from frontline Taliban positions.
Below is an excerpt a detailed article about Prince Harry’s deployment and his journey back to Britain:
In one interview, the prince said there had been jokes about his nickname—"bullet magnet"—and acknowledged his tour could make him a "top target" for extremists.
"Every single person that supports them will be trying to slot me," he said.
But he said he enjoyed being away from the glare of media publicity he faces at home, adding: "I think this is about as normal as I’m ever going to get."
Queen Elizabeth II praised her grandson, saying he had done "a good job in a very difficult climate", while British Prime Minister Gordon Brown described him as an "exemplary soldier (who) is serving with dedication in the finest tradition of our armed forces."

**************** Personal Comment**********************
I think Prince Harry’s deployment in Afghanistan is something good.Yes, it is risky because it is a hostile place and his life is always in danger but he was totally brave and still decided to do it. Now that he’s in the military service, he more disciplined and responsible. Being a soldier made him a better person. A person different from the one who’s always on the paper because of drinking, drugs or all the other bad things he did. Now, he is really Prince responsible and concerned for others. A real Prince, charming, brave and strong looking as a knight-in-shining-armor!
