#2 Prince Harry back in Afghanistan

The MSM and the like have had a field day with pics from Vegas, but couldn't find the time to show his previous 'duties'. Let the lads deal with what they've been through the old fashion way instead of feeding them psychotropic drugs to coddle everyone else with a warm feely that they're doing something for what the lads faced.

#4 Prince Harry's deployment may come as a timely distraction from his misadventures in a Las Vegas hotel room, but it has been months in the planning.

Jeez, think maybe that's why he was partying his ass off in Vegas?

#5 misadventures in a Las Vegas hotel room

He likes cards, single malt, flying, and wymin. No surprise he's also headed toward the sound of the big guns. He's a MAN and a soldier! I salute him.

#8 re: the media, that was Murdoch pushing back after the UK establishment went after News Corp. re: phone hacking, I suspect.

#9 What happens in Afghanistan stays in Afghanistan.

In addition to the previously mentioned virtues and habits, Harry is also involved with a charity in Lesotho called Sentebale.

#10 Ahem Harry ... your next job is not "clothing optional". :-)

#11 Should have invented a unit, said Harry was in it, and the unit was going to Afghanistan (after he had returned) then release photos and encourage (tempt) Jihadis into traps hoping to get him. Instead everyone knows where he is and he (and his unit) are targets.

#12 ..that would undercut any Taliban plan of keeping a low profile till most of NATO departs. If you knew you were going to be used as bait, wouldn't you like to get some business done before heading out?

Possibly. I know that may have been my motivation in Thailand when I was heading out for my third Persian Gulf tour...

#14 Yep, he's all man and follows in a long tradition of hard drinking, hard fighting, hard partying English monarchs.

Of course, I think he volunteered. Tis probably safer in A'stan than it would be around the palace and around the QUEEN. Who was NOT amused at the excapades in Vegas.
