The Brits have pulled Prince Harry from Afghanistan after Matt Drudge disclosed on The Drudge Report that Harry was indeed in Afghanistan as a solider fighting the Taliban.

Here is why Prince Harry was sent home according to People.

“Following a detailed assessment of the risks by the operational chain of command, the decision has been taken … to withdraw Prince Harry from Afghanistan immediately,” the Ministry of Defense confirmed in a statement. “This decision has been taken primarily on the basis that the worldwide media coverage of Prince Harry in Afghanistan could impact on the security of those who are deployed there, as well as the risks to him as an individual soldier.”

I doubt Prince Harry will be too happy that he has been pulled from the war zone.  He seems to want to be like every other solider.  His fellow soldiers have said glowing things about Harry as a person and soldier.
