I dont think its a problem for the troops fighting alongside Harry. I think the problem is that as soon as the Taliban realise that Harry is there, they will go all out to 'bag' him. Short of a sniper, there is no way they can get just him and so they would have gor for the whole unit. Do we really want that amount of casualties, when we've already had more than enough already. Yes it would mean the rest of the troops would be safer, but i'd prefer them all to be safe
And I always thought the Royals were happy to die in battle anyway, thought that was another honourable thing...
If Harry was bothered about dying, he's be doing the same thing as Uncle Eddy
I find the whole thing about Prince Harry weird. If he wants to fight then they should just let him. He's a good example of a dedicated soldier and deserves praise for wanting to serve the country so badly.

Exactly! Harry has had loads of bad press, thought he was a waster to be honest, but at least he's had the b*lls to go out there. As well as that, over Christmas as well, when the troops find it hardest. Fair play to him, I say, and if he does get sent back, he should come back a hero, as every serving squaddie should
