Prince Harry is a huge boost in the morale of British troops stationed in Afghanistan because let’s face it, the war isn’t that popular.
I don’t disagree with your point.
I just think that he should have already been set up with a plan for such an eventuality - and not one that makes him a stationary target. He’s a combat pilot, so let him take to the air. I’m certain that standoff weapons have a great utility in such a circumstance - he doesn’t have to be in range of the enemy, from the enemy’s point of view.
As I stated, it looks like a command failure to me. Just calling it like I see it.
I commend young Harry on being there, in uniform, serving his country. Let no one mistake my comment for criticism in that arena.
