What I was trying to get across to ginge51 is that unlike most soldiers, there have been specific threats against Harry, and as such he is different from most soldiers, so the MoD would have to assess the risk before allowing him to go there.

We said they had weapons of mass destruction, doesn't mean they did, talks cheap, although in this 24 hour media world such claims will be beamed around the world no matter how wild, so I surpose they fill the terrorists purpose, that said I agree with you and have said all along he shouldn't go, at best his presence will put others at risk, at worst we'll see his beheading on YouTube
You know it surprises me there haven't been more attempted kidnappings or even taking the bodies of dead soldiers, when you look at the effort America has gone to (and rightly so I add) recover those three, surely those thousands of troops looking for them have been taken of duties elsewhere or having their rest times cut at least, that's not even taking into account the impact it's having on the American public
