From a discussion over at Samizdata, jumping on Drudge for revealing that Prince Harry was in Afganistan.

Wait, let me get this straight. Here in the US we criticize the POTUS for serving in the National Guard as a fighter pilot during Vietnam and not shipping his daughters off to Iraq, but in England we criticize the royals for sending a Prince to serve in Afghanistan???

OK, anti-war-loonies, make up your dammed minds!!!!

I really don’t think they should have pulled him out. Instead, they should have made damn sure everyone around him was a volunteer (of which there’d be no shortage) and then gone to town on the jihadis when they made their inevitible attacks.
