Khaleej Times is also reporting, or quoting The Daily Mail (which doesn't have the article up yet):
"Prince Harry is threatening to quit the British army if he is not allowed to join fellow soldiers in harms way, the Mail on Sunday newspaper reported.
If I am not allowed to join my unit in a war zone, I will hand in my uniform, he was quoted as telling senior officers before his passing-out from Sandhurst military academy, southwest of London, on April 12.
He will go bananas if he is given special treatment, an unnamed source close to the prince was quoted as saying. He doesnt want to let the rest of the lads and lasses down by opting out."
Once the article from The Mail is up, I'll link it.

The Royal Family is setting the example.
When are Jenna, Barbara and George P. going to sign up and serve stateside?

While American rich and privileged lefty liberals would never dare to even consider military training, let alone volunteering for combat.
