He's there and he's seen combat.

He was given the opportunity to not go and insisted. If I was his father I'd be overcome with pride that my son, despite a life of privilege, still understands the concepts of duty and honor.

From article:

"It's our intention to give Prince William as full a taste of life in the Royal Navy as possible," a Navy spokesman said, on customary condition of anonymity in line with policy.

William's response, "Hmmmm salty."

Agreed, and if I were his father, id be a little more then irate that an idiot journelist let it leak where he was. Truly lame.

I thought I had heard that it popped up on Drudge.

Matt Drudge was indeed the one who broke the story, much to the chagrin of pretty much everyone.

I'll give Coronet Wales credit where credit is due...the young officer was 500 meters from the Taliban and took the fight to the enemy.

What I found interesting is he seems to have a favorite hat...which includes a subdued American flag on the front.
