Well Done Harry

You've done a lot more to restore honor to the Crown than your father ever has

Prince Harry is to be withdrawn from Afghanistan after news broke of him serving there on the front line.

The 23-year-old royal, who has spent the last 10 weeks serving in Helmand Province, is to be flown back to the UK amid concerns for his safety.

I think that unfortunately he does need to be withdrawn back to the UK, but he's served alongside his countrymen for 10 weeks there. Good for him.

Let's hope Drudge doesn't get the kid killed or captured.

What an asshole.

What a GREAT kid!

Agreed on all points, Sis. Someone needs to kick the media in the a$$, starting with Drudge.

Drudge is a tool sometimes. Good for the kid, though. We might actually have a King on our hands, people!

Hear, hear!

Now toss Chuckles on the dustpile of history and make young Harry Prince of Wales.

I never thought I'd have this much respect for the young guy.

In William's defense, it is MUCH easier being the second son. Chuckles and Wills have to play it tres cautious as heirs to the throne, while the younger brother gets all the fun and glory. Remember Andrew in the Falkland War? He was a bad ass, too.

I just love how Wills didn't show up at holiday events, so no one would ask "Where's Harry?" That's just cooler than shit.
