#2 Sounds to me like General Dannatt is 'wiping his hands clean' of the decision, somewhat like Pontius Pilate did with Jesus versus Barabbas. Should Harry be captured and threatened with beheading, I'm sure the General won't have the impetus to look the Queen 'eye to eye' over her grandson!

#4 smn: I am certain Harry would not be going without the consent and approval of the palace.

#6 Nice try Excalibur, but don't believe it! Inside, the Queen winches over her Harry demonstrating his love of God and Country in such a compelling way. Mind you, AlQaeda will not be as 'sociable' as Iran was with the 15, over his fate.

#7 Well, it's good to know that if he assumes the throne, even though the job is mostly symbolic, he will have a first-hand understanding and hopefully appreciation for the military and what Global Jihad means and could mean.

#8 al q has already made a threat of not beheading but just cutting his ears off.

#9 Harry is the spare, not the heir.

#10 He's going, He's insistent on going. Whatever happens, happens because he decided.

At least he's not gonna be Brigadier Cutt N-Paste of the Armchair Brigade.

#11 he will have a first-hand understanding and hopefully appreciation for the military and what Global Jihad means and could mean.

Unlike his father, who has been kissing Muslim ass for so long he blows his nose with three smooth stones.
