Prince Harry is back in Afghanistan

CAMP BASTION, Afghanistan — Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, began a four-month combat tour Friday in Afghanistan as a gunner on an Apache attack helicopter, fresh from a vacation that included strip billiards in a Las Vegas hotel.

It was the second tour in Afghanistan for Harry, 27, who will start flying missions within 10 days in the country’s restive Helmand province, the British military said. In 2007-08, he served in Helmand as an air traffic controller.

They had to get their little dig in at his personal life. Whatever. He is doing his job and I respect that.

You mean 27-year-olds occasionally act out hormonal urges? I never heard of such a thing. All the same, I'm glad to see that he still feels the obligation to serve his nation.
