Prince Harry withdrawn from Afghanistan, says "I don't like England much"
Though it's been kept a secret by the British media, Prince Harry has been on active duty in Afghanistan since December. The news finally leaked out yesterday on the Drudge Report, and British officials have decided that, due to security concerns, the 23-year-old prince will have to come back to England.
Prince Harry was not pleased with the news. When asked if he'd ever want to return to Afghanistan, he said, "I don't want to sit around in Windsor."
He added: "I generally don't like England that much and, you know, it's nice to be away from all the press and the papers and all the general shite that they write."
That's an attitude I can't help but love.

Rarely post, but I gotta say this kid is winning over me over.
He has the markings of a true leader and some prop for the country.
He's really come into his own. I don't blame him for hating all the paps that intrude into his life.
After all his mom would still be around if it weren't for them.

Media that broke the news should be sent to the front lines themselves. Perhaps with the Taliban forewarned about their location. Fair's fair, right?
