Prince Harry: I belong on the front line
2008-08-29
EAGER Prince Harry has urged Army bosses to return him to the front line in Afghanistan. The soldier royal, third in line to the throne, had a successful first tour of duty in the war zone earlier this year. Now he is desperate to go back for another encounter with hostile Taliban forces.

Harry, 23, and members of his Blues and Royals regiment will resume training at Windsor's Combermere Barracks next week. The Prince will not immediately prepare for war but concentrate on normal regimental duties.

A Blues and Royals source said last night: "Harry has made no secret of the fact he wants to be there when the regiment returns to the front line next year. He said the experience of leading his men into battle is one he hopes he can repeat.

#4  When I think of heaven (Deliver me in a black-winged bird)
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
and all other instruments of faith and sex and God
In the belly of a black-winged bird
Don't try to feed me
I've been here before and I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been crying I've been thinking
And I am the Rain King

#3  If the Army had any sense they'd give him the chance. Seems to me they'd be better off with a heroic veteran on the throne. Or perhaps they have already become EUropeans.
