Profiles in Countermoonbattery: Prince Harry
Posted by Dave Blount at July 9, 2007 5:48 PM
With all the moonbattery exuded by Prince Charles lately, it's a relief to see that Prince Harry is anything but a chip off the old blockhead. He's been going through intensive training with the Gurkhas to hone his fighting skills.
Historically from the Himalayan mountains, Gurkhas have been recruited by the British Army for two centuries. Their courage, loyalty, and self-sufficiency are legendary.
Bureaucrats fret that Prince Harry will be a target if deployed to Iraq. But his greatest fear seems to be not being deployed:
There's no way I'm going to put myself through Sandhurst and then sit on my sorry arse back home while my boys are out fighting for their country.
Remember warrior kings? Maybe Britain has another in its future.
There could be hope for the British monarchy after all.
On a tip from The Panday.
