their main problem is not whether Harry can take the pressure of coming under fire in action – but whether the lives of the men fighting alongside him will be more at risk because he is regarded as a ‘trophy target’ by insurgents. A reasonable concern, I must say.
Nonetheless, I hope something is worked out so that the Lieutenant can see action with his comrades. Good for him!

I don't think the bad guys could tell Prince Harry from Prince.

A reasonable concern, I must say. I think it's a reasonable concern, but I also think it will mean very little in the real tactical environment.
