Bonnie Prince Harry

I've just read that harry has gone into prepartory training for a deployment to iraq. One key issue of the story is the way there is supposed to be 'such' a security risk. This has been flogged and flogged by the media. Did they ever stop and think that they're the cause of said risk? By providing a constant flow of information as to where he is, what his regiment is doing, where they are barracked in Iraq, its THEY who provide all the intel needed for an attack against the prince should he be deployed.

Half a brain, media-types, and you'd be dangerous!

No, it's not the media's fault. It's Google's.

What was at the "Amphibious Landing Operations" during the war in Kuwait...

Come on say it with me now...

"THE MEDIA"

Shining bright lights in the eyes of the good guys.
If I had been there I would be in Leavenworth and some news people would in the morgue.

One question here if the "News Media" knows where everything is suppose to be and has total protection to report it, why dont we see some Terrorists being blinded by news lights...HHhmmmmm:hmm:

Granted there are some "risks" since he is third in line to the throne gone are the days where officers and gentelmen were treated with respect, but I think if he trained with his unit and went through the same hardships, he should be allowed to serve with them as well, he earned the right to be with his commrades, or am I mistaken? :hmm:

He also volunteered to join. He wants to go and do what he sighed up for. At least he relizes what he's doing and the risk involved, and isn't backing down from it, despite some in public office who want him to stay in England.

I think what he's doing is pretty admirable actually.

But announcing his daily movements to and around a combat zone probably isn't a wise move on the media's part either.
