Prince Harry Deployed

From the BBC:
"Prince Harry deployed to Afghanistan"

Prince Harry has been deployed to Afghanistan for four months, the Ministry of Defence says. The prince, an Apache helicopter pilot, arrived on Thursday night at the main British base, Camp Bastion in Helmand. The 27-year-old, who is third in line to the throne, will take part in combat missions against the Taliban. It is his second Afghanistan deployment - he spent 10 weeks in Helmand province in 2007-08 but was pulled out after media reported his secret deployment. Captain Wales, as he is known in the military, arrived as part of the 100-strong 662 Squadron, 3 Regiment, Army Air Corps. The prince, who turns 28 next week, qualified as an Apache helicopter pilot in February this year after 18 months of rigorous training in the UK and the US. The Ministry of Defence regard the threat to Apache aircraft and crew in Afghanistan as "low". The Apache attack helicopter is designed to hunt and destroy tanks and is equipped with rockets, missiles and an automatic cannon.

^ Good for him. Despite all his previous bad choices (ie Las Vegas, etc) it seems he is going back to a good choice he made before. Hopefully, the media will let him do his job and not put his life or the life of the soldiers around him at even more risk. ^
