Appears Harry has been in Afghanistan for 10 weeks and media were cowered into hiding the story.

Appears Matt Drudge is the one who broke it.

Conveniently just before he came home so he can be classed as a hero.

Surely it makes sense not to report it seeing as he would, as what the concern when his posting was discussed last time, be a target for terrorist types and create greater risk for those serving with him.

So what? You think they should have reported his every move so that the enemy could track him down?

Anyway, fair fu.cks to the guy for heading out and actually serving in the middle of hell instead of hiding behind his birthright.

Ah Obie -

fair play to him for going there and serving in the first place - Im sure he could have got any desk he wanted back in the UK because of who he is.

Have said nothing pro or against him.

Other than making the point that they conveniently got the story out just before he came home so he can be classed as a hero.

Its UK Establishment Spin to a tee and stage managed pretty well.

Arf! So it's nothing to do with the fact he and his unit would of been targeted then? I mean, his fellow soldiers were just having a laugh when they nicknamed him the 'ginger bullet magnet' weren't they? Face facts, you just want to slag him off regardless.
