Is this something worth writing about? It’s been on the mainstream media dartboard for quite some time, and I honestly thought that England wouldn’t let him go. But it seems as though Prince Harry will go to Iraq after all. There’s much debate whether or not Harry should even go. On one side there are the families of soldiers who say that if it’s too dangerous for Prince Harry, why is it alright for my son or daughter to go?

And then there’s the security aspect of it all. Does having Harry in the combat zone have the commanders in a tight spot? After all, you would expect them to have a beefed up force around the Prince. What if Harry gets kidnapped? What if he gets killed?

I certainly am not in a position to say what Harry should do, but I think it is brave of this young man to pursue this personal ideal for himself. He may one day be the king, and if only to inspire his countrymen, I think he definitely should go. Does he deserve an unequal amount of security when he goes to Iraq? Maybe. But if they do it right, the enemy shouldn’t know where he is, and Harry, in the end should be treated like any other soldier in combat.
