Prince Harry Is Going To War In Iraq

[igster]

ACTION man Prince Harry's guts and skill are about to be put to the ultimate test — as his regiment heads to war in Iraq.

The royal family and army top brass all know he will be a prize target for battling insurgents and factions.

But this week 2nd Lieutenant Harry will get special pre-deployment training — including Arabic lessons — with other key members of his Blues and Royals regiment earmarked to serve in Iraq from April.

The two-day course with the Operational Training and Advisory Group (OPTAG) is ONLY given to troops heading for the war zone.

An Army source said: "This training is exclusively for troops given the green light for Iraq.

"They don't waste time, money and manpower on anyone else.

"If a soldier's in OPTAG training for Iraq then he's going, simple as that."


Tough


If Harry is sent it will nail widespread speculation that the 22-year-old prince will be kept away from frontline duties because of safety fears.

Harry will be delighted. He has repeatedly told friends he is desperate to serve "like any other officer".

The specialist OPTAG sessions, to be held at the Household Cavalry's barracks in Windsor, Berkshire, will drill Harry and his comrades in basic Iraqi Arabic in a bid to win over the hearts and minds of the people.

Lectures will also deal with local customs, welfare problems and tough living conditions, including extreme weather changes.

An Army insider said: "They are taught words and phrases from a special vocabulary book so that they may address civilians politely but also issue orders and warnings.

"The prince will get instruction on the geography and climate of the region plus specialised drills that have been adapted just for Iraq.

"This ranges from contact drills — what to do if you or your unit is shot at or bombed — to the way sentry duty is carried out. What Harry and rest will get is the benefit of hard-learned lessons passed on by the men and women who've served before them.

"It's a final phase of training prior to deployment.

"The next step is a dress rehearsal exercise carried out by the entire brigade over several days in the UK.

"Once that's complete they're off to do the business."

As part of the build-up to war Harry will also spend a week on exercise with up to 1,000 other men on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, next month.

Harry will don a special laser suit that will reveal if he has been "shot" in the hi-tech war games.

Tellingly, Prince William, who is also part of the Blues and Royals but junior to Harry in terms of training, will NOT take part in the exercises or the OPTAG lectures.


Risky


Instead, he will embark on a troop leader's course in Bovington, Dorset, for five months starting from March.

As second-in-line to the throne he cannot serve in a war zone.

It has also been confirmed he will quit the army after a year before spending time with the RAF and Navy, combined with royal duties.

But young brother Harry is now set to follow in the footsteps of his uncle Prince Andrew, who served in the 1982 Falklands War flying Sea King helicopters on risky battle missions.

A Clarence House spokesman confirmed: "Prince Harry is undergoing this training but no final decision has been made on whether he will be deployed. That will come shortly."

But an inside source source insisted: "Harry's desperate to go.

"I wouldn't want to be the one telling him he can't get on the plane."

What a nice attitude!

Only when Harry comes back with his head fucked up or in a box will I believe a word of this article! Maybe they want to expand their gene pool by getting some DU into his spunk..

Harry Snotter & his DU Adventures in Iraq
the same harry who thinks its cool to run around like hitler

Who cares if he goes or not ? it's a load of bollocks to be honest
like every other royal with stupid amounts of medals for nothing
for doing nothing. Lets hope he doesn't step on a landmine
otherwise the kids wont have a Harry Snotter movie.

[kjvtrue]

It's their plan to rule the world. The US has already started serving them.

The guy may be going into a situation where he is being shot at by, or shooting at people. How about cutting him some slack? He didn't ask for this position. Even if he is on the overwhelmingly winning side, killing is not an easy thing, trust me. It sticks. I say leave the guy alone and let him do his job.

[slothy]

Killing isn't easy, I'm sure it isn't. But it's obviously easier than refusing to go! If he really had balls he would tell his inbred twat of a dad to fuck off.

[igster]

Well, if Harry wants to go to war than he should connect with Dick Cheney:D

[wokensheep]

i can see it now they will have carpet bombings in front of his platoon, whilst he and his buddies walk around through burned out bombed out areas.

As long as they also have the wits not to use DU for ammunition. If I were king I would damn well make sure not to send any of my sons to such a radio-active hell-hole anyway. Unless you want mutants for grandchildren that is.

[Shinobi]

You mean to say the royals aren't mutants already ephilution ? :biggrin:

@ tsoldrin, what job are you on about ? they have never worked in their lives
I dont call fighting an illegal war and killing people illegaly a 'job' either.

There will be no rest for the real wicked my friend, the pressure is on!:)

Probably cause it's hard to believe but if he is more power to him

[igster]

I think they are sending him in war to perform satanic and ocult killings, maybe even prisoners... who knows...

Note William will not be going.

I've heard quite recently that there is a chance Prince Harry may not be the biological son of Charles.

I didn't believe it.

However this story does give some credence to these accusations.

His mother had red hair, before she dyed it for Prince Charley Horse.

[Dr.Druid]

The accusations only said that Charles was not his father.

I think its untrue though.

I mean when would she ever find the time to date another man in the Reptile House.
