Once More Into The Breach!

Prince Harry in AfghanistanI'm fascinated by this story that Prince Harry has been serving secretly in Afghanistan.  I love those Brits!  It's like Henry V and Kipling rolled into one, and it definitely puts this Onion article in a new light.

One paragraph stood out:
The defense ministry said in a statement that although Harry had been expected to remain in Afghanistan for a few more weeks with his unit from the Household Cavalry Regiment Battlegroup, "the situation has now clearly changed." As a result, the chief of the defense staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, had decided "to withdraw Prince Harry from Afghanistan immediately," the ministry said.
Wait, their chief of defense is named Sir Jock Stirrup?  I love those Brits!
