PRINCE HARRY FIGHTS ON FRONTLINES IN AFGHANISTAN; 3 MONTH TOUR Thu Feb 28 2008 11:01:34 ET
**World Exclusive**
They're calling him "Harry the Hero!"
British Royal Prince Harry has been fighting in Afghanistan since late December -- and has been directly involved in gun battle, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
The prince, a junior officer in the Blues and Royals, and third in line to the throne, has been a "magnificent soldier" and an "inspiration to all of Briton."

Well, sorry but, you’re helping him spread it.
In times past, royals wore conspicuous garb on the battlefield. Henry V wore a crown and the royal coat of arms over his armor at Agincourt. A group of French knights charged him furiously. They were all cut down but one them struck Henry’s crown with his sword. But I guess we got to be sensible now.
Why do you attack Drudge!? The Brit Army officials themselves made this public. Sheesh!
I agree. Everyone thinks he will be shipped back home now. Why no let him fight. I have great respect for him. He wanted to be with his boys and he is. At least he’s not someone crying about having to go.
I lost all respect for drudge a long time ago. Now lets see if he gets Harry (or other soldiers) killed.
Three month tour? What am I missing here? Was he sent to Afghanistan three months ago on a three month tour? Actually, a three month tour sounds about right for a prince.
"Bravo, Matt Drudge. Scooped the entire UK media!"Next thing you know, Whoraldo will be drawing his location in the sand!!!!
Totally agree.
However, now that it’s out, perhaps there’s a silver lining in that it gives an example of what we should expect of our leaders.
Wrong!
The entire UK media were aware of Prince Harry's deployment and agreed to show restraint.
Something Mr Drudge is obviously incapable of doing.
He’s been there since December, and this is a three month tour. There’s not a lot that can go wrong this late in the day.
I like the fact that Harry Windsor has been fighting, and I really like the fact that the UK media agreed to say nothing. Imagine the NYT doing that!
“Shhhh... you’re not supposed to have actually read what happened. You’re just supposed to overreact and blame the wrong person.”
Oops!
Mum’s the word!
“Well, sorry but, you’re helping him spread it.”
Oh, please! It’s been on TV all day... CNN, FOX, MSNBC! I haven’t watched my local news, but you can be sure it’s there, too!
My point exactly, each one who broadcasts it blames the other.
So who is accountable? Nobody. It’s pot/kettle to me.
It is a super moral booster for the coalition and must truly convey the proper message to Taliban murderers... just my very humble opinion.
I lost all respect for Sludge long ago.
Someone would have made it known. The drive-bys are just as low.
May God keep him safe along all our soldiers.
