Cornet Wales

I just wanted to take the time to salute HRH Prince Harry for his desire to serve his nation as well as the Anglo-American Alliance in truly the toughest part of the world today. What a refreshing position that someone of his stature and station in life when he could have literally anything he wants has chosen to serve instead on the front lines of the War On Terror.

Perhaps more young men who belong to the most elite families in both Britain and America will be moved to do the same and follow his example which in turn will spur lesser well known men to join the ranks of our armed forces en masse.

These are not easy decisions to make considering the consequences but someone must fight for the Anglosphere and someone has to do the dirty work which includes, yes, killing the enemies of America and Britain. They have reached the pinacle of manhood - leaders of men and warriors on the battlefield. There is no more noble cause than this but to lay down your life for your friends and this is done on a nearly daily basis by our fine young men serving in Iraq and Afghanistan in our armed forces.

From the Ministry of Defence in Great Britain:

Deployment of HRH Prince Harry to Iraq Whilst in Iraq, Cornet Wales, as Prince Harry is known in the Army, will carry out a normal troop commander's role, involving leading a troop of 12 men in four Scimitar armoured reconnaissance vehicles, each with a crew of three.

The decision to deploy him has been a military one, made by The Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Richard Dannatt, in conjunction with Cornet Wales' commanding officer. The Royal Household has been consulted throughout.


Speculation about precisely where Cornet Wales will serve, or the exact details of his role, is potentially dangerous. The Ministry of Defence and Clarence House are writing to ask all media organisations to respect this matter of operational security so that Cornet Wales can undertake a normal tour of duty, which is his express wish and that of the Army.

Good luck and God speed.
