Prince Harry will serve in Iraq with his regiment, the head of the British army said Monday, despite fears that insurgents could target the third in line to the throne. The right call?

I think it's a risky move. There's no doubt that he will be targetted and this won't only put himself in danger but also the rest of his troop.

Really bad move! He will be a target especialy when the Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq will see that as a UK occupation since he is a royal! Bad Diplomatic moves from the MoD

Why are they so keen on this? How does the benefit outweigh the potential cost?

Probably a bit cynical of me but I reckon there'll have been pressure put on the army to deploy him.

I think this is inordinately selfish of him, he is putting others at risk. What happens if he is kidnapped? The gov would prob cave in to any demand.

He also makes it look like it is some bizarre british imperial adventure. What a tw@t.
