#4  It's more likely that Harry can kill the Taliban ... since he's the one flying the Apache helicopter. His biggest risk is more likely to be a technical malfunction in the chopper - hopefully he will be able to handle that.

#3  Ask King Richard III if those irascible peasants would be the end of him. Of course they could. That is why he is there.

Aristocracies always have bags of second (third, fourth ...) sons who tempt fate and earn some sort of glory for themselves or die trying.

Give the man the space to earn some sort of self-respect, in lieu of being King.

#2  The Taliban Boyz are claiming that they destroyed six Harrier jets in lieu of failing to capture or kill Prince Harry in his own base.

Vegas Harry is symbolic of the Radical Islamist/Jihadist threat to the UK Royal Family in general.

#1  Yes.

Difficult, but not impossible.

The real question is, will the commanders and politicians that aren't there actually treat this area as a war zone?
